[For an individual, this could include your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly impacted by the project in order to intervene.] For more information about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https:// www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ intervene.asp. There are two ways to submit your motion to intervene. In both instances, please reference the Project docket number CP23–015–000 in your submission.

Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission approval for a variance from the Project Operating Plan (Plan) in order to accommodate testing of new Units 7 and 8 at the Faraday Powerhouse. The Plan, in part, requires the licensee to operate River Mill Dam to limit the hourly ramping rate to 10% or 100 cubic feet per second, whichever is greater, of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Estacada gage for all river flows. The testing is required in order to commission both units and place them into operation. The testing process will last approximately 90 days and begin between February 1 and April 15, 2023. Testing will require the licensee to shift water between Faraday Lake and Estacada Lake as it passes various flows through the new units. In some cases, testing will require the licensee to cease generation immediately after passing high flows through the units. Given this, and the details of other testing procedures, the licensee requests to increase the hourly ramping rate at River Mill Dam from 10% to 20% and use generation data and spillway flow to calculate project outflow, versus the USGS Estacada gage required by the Plan. During testing, the licensee will VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:14 Dec 01, 2022 Jkt 259001 focus on limiting downramping rates rather than attempting to match outflow to inflow, which is the case under typical operating conditions, in an effort to protect biological resources downstream of River Mill Dam. l.
