Weybridge Recertification Review Report 2019
FRANC LOGIC February 2019 SUBJECT - Stage II Recertification Review for Low Impact Hydropower Institute’s Weybridge Project #98 1 BACKGROUND The Weybridge Hydroelectric Project (Project), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) No. 2731, is owned and operated by the Green Mountain Power Corporation (GMP). On August 1, 2001, FERC issued a license to Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPSC) for a period of 30 years1. The existing license terminates on August 1, 2031. On September 13, 2012, FERC issued an Order Approving Transfer of Licenses from CVPSC to GMP for the Project.2. The Project’s current five-year Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI) certification #98 expired on February 6, 2017. In a letter dated December 16, 2016, LIHI extended the certification for the Project through November 6, 2017. GMP submitted an application for recertification of the Project in July of 2017. On October 5, 2017, LIHI notified GMP that the first stage recertification review for the Project was complete. Given that the review was processed under the new, 2nd Edition LIHI Certification Handbook, the need for a Stage II review was necessary. On November 3, 2017, LIHI extended the certification for the Project through March 31, 2018. The current term was extended again to September 30, 2018 to allow sufficient time for agency review of operations data, and finalization of the review. In early June of 2018, GMP submitted its Stage II Recertification Application.3 GMP’s contact is Mr. John Greenan4. LIHI assigned Mr. Gary Franc5 to perform the Stage II Recertification review. 2 OTTER CREEK BASIN The Project is located in the towns of Weybridge and New Haven, Vermont (latitude 44.0665, longitude -73.2162) and is situated at river mile (RM) 19.5 on Otter Creek at the head of a rock-walled gorge where the creek cascades around a small island.
