The proposed NTM Water Treatment Plant Hydro Project would have a combined installed capacity of 150 kilowatts (kW), and would be located along 24-inch diameter raw water pipeline. The project would be located near the Town of Golden in Jefferson County, Colorado. Applicant Contact: Bart Sperry, North Table Mountain Water and Sanitation District, 14806 W 52nd Avenue, Golden, CO 80403 Phone No. (303) 279-2854, email [email protected]. FERC Contact: Robert Bell, Phone No. (202) 502-6062, email: [email protected]. Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility Description: The proposed project would consist of: (1) A new 25-foot-long, 24-inch diameter intake pipe off the 24-inch raw water pipeline; (2) a new powerhouse containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 150 kilowatts (kW); (3) a new 25-foot-long, 24-inch diameter discharge pipe which would connect to the 24-inch raw water pipeline going to the Water Treatment plant; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generating capacity of 250,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). A qualifying conduit hydropower facility is one that is determined or deemed to meet all of the criteria shown in the table below.
