Only three of these can generate
electricity: Mason’s, Mill, and CMP
developments. Project features include
the dams, intakes, gates, penstocks,
powerhouses, tailraces, and
transmission lines at each development.
Impoundments at Swan Lake, Kelly,
Mill, and CMP developments, and a
portion of the impoundment at the
Mason’s development is included in the
project boundary. The Mill and CMP
development are in disrepair and have
not generated since 2003.
l. Description of Proceeding: License
Article 16 states in part: If the licensee
shall abandon or discontinue good faith
operation of the project or refuse or
neglect to comply with the terms of the
license and the lawful orders of the
Commission mailed to the record
address of the licensee or its agent, the
Commission will deem it to be the
intent of the licensee to surrender the
license. In this proceeding, the
Commission may find cause to waive
the requirement in 18 CFR 6.4 to wait
90 days after public notice to terminate
the license.
Since 2014, Commission staff have
worked with Goose River Hydro, Inc.,
licensee, to restore project operation. On
February 2, 2018, the licensee filed an
application for subsequent license, but
failed to provide specific details on
needed repairs. On July 16, 2019,
Commission staff informed the licensee
of the need for additional information.
A response was filed on October 31,
2019, which by letter dated January 8,
2020, Commission staff found
inadequate. On April 10, 2020,
Commission staff issued an order
dismissing the licensee’s application for
a subsequent license. By order dated
September 3, 2020, the Commission
directed the licensee to file a surrender
application by January 31, 2021. In a
January 8, 2021 filing, the licensee states
it is incapable of filing a surrender
application because it has no assets,
Goose River Hydro, Inc. is in
dissolution, and it does not have the
rights to certain project features.
m. Location of the Application: This
filing may be viewed on the
Commission’s website at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Intervene: Anyone may submit
comments, a protest, or a motion to
intervene in accordance with the
requirements of Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, .214,
respectively. In determining the
appropriate action to take, the

otherwise comply with the requirements

motions to intervene, or protests should
relate to project works which are the
subject of the implied surrender.
Agencies may obtain copies of the
application directly from the applicant.
A copy of any protest or motion to
intervene must be served upon each
representative of the applicant specified
in the particular application. If an
intervener files comments or documents
with the Commission relating to the
merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource
