Marketing Rate Changes, Not Within Normal Operating Limits
Rate changes for electric power, power transmission, and other
products or services provided by Power Marketing Administrations
that are based on changes in revenue requirements if the operations
of generation projects would not remain within normal operating
limits.
C4 Upgrading, Rebuilding, or Construction of Powerlines
Upgrading or rebuilding more than approximately 20 miles in
length of existing powerlines; or construction of powerlines (1)
More than approximately 10 miles in length outside previously
disturbed or developed powerline or pipeline rights-of-way or (2)
more than approximately 20 miles in length within previously
disturbed or developed powerline or pipeline rights-of-way.
C5 Vegetation Management Program
Implementation of a Power Marketing Administration system-wide
vegetation management program.
C6 Erosion Control Program
Implementation of a Power Marketing Administration system-wide
erosion control program.
C7 Contracts, Policies, and Marketing and Allocation Plans for
Electric Power
Establishment and implementation of contracts, policies, and
marketing and allocation plans related to electric power
acquisition that involve (1) The interconnection of, or acquisition
of power from, new generation resources that are equal to or less
than 50 average megawatts; (2) changes in the normal operating
limits of generation resources equal to or less than 50 average
megawatts; or (3) service to discrete new loads of less than10
average megawatts over a 12-month period.
C8 Protection of Cultural Resources and Fish and Wildlife Habitat
Large-scale activities undertaken to protect cultural resources
(such as fencing, labeling, and flagging) or to protect, restore,
or improve fish and wildlife habitat, fish passage facilities (such
as fish ladders and minor diversion channels), or fisheries.
C9 Wetlands Demonstration Projects
Field demonstration projects for wetlands mitigation, creation,
and restoration.
C10 [Reserved] C11 Particle Acceleration Facilities
Siting, construction or modification, operation, and
decommissioning of low- or medium-energy (when the primary beam
energy exceeds approximately 100 million electron volts and the
average beam power exceeds approximately 250 kilowatts or where the
average current exceeds 2.5 milliamperes) particle acceleration
facilities, including electron beam acceleration facilities, and
associated beamlines, storage rings, colliders, and detectors for
research and medical purposes, within or contiguous to a previously
disturbed or developed area (where active utilities and currently
used roads are readily accessible).
C12 Energy System Demonstration Actions
Siting, construction, operation, and decommissioning of energy
system demonstration actions (including, but not limited to, wind
resource, hydropower, geothermal, fossil fuel, biomass, and solar
energy, but excluding nuclear). For purposes of this category,
“demonstration actions” means actions that are undertaken at a
scale to show whether a technology would be viable on a larger
scale and suitable for commercial deployment.
C13 [Reserved] C14 Water Treatment Facilities
Siting, construction (or expansion), operation, and
decommissioning of wastewater, surface water, potable water, and
sewage treatment facilities with a total capacity greater than
approximately 250,000 gallons per day, and of lower capacity
wastewater and surface water treatment facilities whose liquid
discharges are not subject to external regulation.
C15 Research and Development Incinerators and Nonhazardous Waste
Incinerators
Siting, construction (or expansion), operation, and
decommissioning of research and development incinerators for any
type of waste and of any other incinerators that would treat
nonhazardous solid waste (as designated in 40 CFR 261.4(b)).
C16 Large Waste Packaging and Storage Facilities
Siting, construction, modification to increase capacity,
operation, and decommissioning of packaging and unpacking
facilities (such as characterization operations) and large storage
facilities (greater than approximately 50,000 square feet in area)
for waste, except high-level radioactive waste, generated onsite or
resulting from activities connected to site operations. These
actions do not include storage, packaging, or unpacking of spent
nuclear fuel. (See also B6.4, B6.5, B6.6, and B6.10 of appendix
B.)
