for the Wells Project will expire in 2011. It was also designed to be easy
to maintain by PUD personnel. The project included substantial architecture,
upscale design, and database design and integration to facilitate management
of a complex relicensing process. The site is expandable and has viable
capabilities that can be maintained throughout the length of the
process. In-house training was provided for key personnel to be able to
update and maintain the web site and its data.
Database-driven active server pages
provide Douglas PUD with one point of entry for meeting and correspondence data creating a
long-term record of participants, meeting dates, and correspondence
between Douglas PUD and its stakeholders and the general public. This data
is parsed throughout the site to make it easy to maintain
with less errors.

Sacramento Municipal Utility District
|
eureka software recently published the Application for New License for
Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s (SMUD) Upper American River Project (UARP)
FERC No. 2101. The Application for New License for UARP and the 400MW Iowa
Hill Pumped Storage Development was filed as a printed 8 volume set and as a
searchable 12 CD set with the FERC on July 15, 2005. An additional single DVD
containing the entire license application was included in the filing.
The project
consists of 11 reservoirs and eight powerhouses with supporting tunnels,
penstocks and transmission lines.
The print and electronic filings were a culmination of 5 years of
collaboration between eureka software and SMUD’s Relicensing Department to
process all of the documents necessary for the digital and print filing.
eureka software's unique publishing process allowed the concurrent publication
of both a print and an electronic version of the documentation to be filed at
the same time. The corresponding web site followed the process throughout making documents and meeting
information publicly available. The underlying technology developed for the web site
also facilitated the publication of the Consultation Record.
eureka software managed and produced all aspects of this publishing endeavor
from design and architecture through CD duplication/printing and hand
packaging into custom-designed cases. Our attention to detail in such
a complex project included personally overseeing the final packing to ensure
quality control of the product and timely shipping to FERC and the client.

PG&E DeSabla-Centerville
Project
|
eureka software created two web
sites to facilitate PG&E's DeSabla-Centerville hydroelectric relicensing
process. One site allows public access to relicensing documents and the
other site allows access only to the designated relicensing team. Both sites
use SharePoint Team Services technology to manage the process and the documents and
were customized specifically for the DeSabla-Centerville relicensing
process.
SharePoint Team Services technologies
provide document management, creation of lists such as contacts lists,
integration with Office 2003, a calendar, correspondence and meeting
summaries to facilitate communication and access to important information.
Eureka Software's expert knowledge of these technologies means we can design
and implement a SharePoint solution to manage any process. It's not just for
hydro!
