OAR 345-027-0353
Changes Exempt from Requiring an Amendment


An amendment to a site certificate is not required for a proposed change in the design, construction or operation of a facility that is in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of the site certificate, and is a change:

(1)

To an electrical generation facility that would increase the electrical generating capacity and would not increase the number of electric generators at the site, change fuel type, increase fuel consumption by more than 10 percent or enlarge the facility site;

(2)

To the number or location of pipelines for a surface facility related to an underground gas storage reservoir that would not result in the facility exceeding permitted daily throughput or a change to the site boundary;

(3)

To the number, size, or location of pipelines for a geothermal energy facility that would not result in a change to the site boundary;

(4)

To a pipeline that is a related or supporting facility that delivers natural gas to the energy facility, if the change would extend or modify the pipeline or expand the right-of-way, when the change is exclusively to serve gas users other than the energy facility;

(5)

To a transmission line that is a related or supporting facility, if the change would extend or modify the transmission line or expand the right-of-way, when the change is exclusively to serve the transmission needs of a separate energy facility or energy user; or

(6)

To construct a pipeline less than 16 inches in diameter and less than five miles in length to test or maintain an underground gas storage reservoir. If the proposed pipeline would connect to a surface facility related to an underground gas storage reservoir for which the Council has issued a site certificate or to a gas pipeline for which the Council has issued a site certificate, the certificate holder must obtain, prior to construction, the approval of the Department for the construction, operation and retirement of the proposed pipeline. To obtain Department approval, the certificate holder must submit a request as described in OAR 345-027-0510 through 345-027-0540.
