Commission staff’s review of Consolidated Hydro New York, LLC’s final license application for the Victory Mills Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 7153) found information stating that Winnie’s Reef Dam is operated to maintain the water levels of Saratoga Lake. In addition, comments on the license application for the Victory Mills Project and in FWS’s jurisdictional request state that Winnie’s Reef Dam controls flows downstream in Fish Creek and may provide headwater benefits for both the Victory Mills Project (approximately 5 miles downstream of Winnie’s Reef Dam) and the Schuylerville Project No. 8606 (approximately 0.6 miles downstream from Victory Mills Project). As a result, the Commission is beginning a review of the Winnie’s Reef Dam to determine whether it is subject to the Commission’s mandatory licensing jurisdiction under section 23 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). Pursuant to section 23(b)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 817(1), a non-federal hydroelectric project must be licensed (unless it has a still-valid pre-1920 federal permit) if it: (1) is located on a navigable water of the United States, (2) occupies lands or reservations of the United States, (3) uses the surplus water or water power from a government dam; or (4) is located on a stream over which Congress has Commerce Clause jurisdiction, is constructed or modified on or after August 26, 1935, and affects the interests of interstate or foreign commerce. Section 4(e) of the FPA authorizes the Commission to issue licenses for hydroelectric project works, including reservoirs. Section 23(b)(1) of the FPA requires (with exceptions not relevant here) a Commission license for the operation of non-federal hydroelectric project works, including reservoirs, that are used to generate electric power on any navigable waters of the United States.
