Or. Admin. Code § 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.
