Tacoma-Ames represents two of the oldest hydro generating facilities in the nation. eureka software built a relicensing web site to organize process and meeting information but also to emphasize the time period and location of this project while designing and implementing a structure for the two separate project areas of the Tacoma Project and the Ames Project.

Douglas County PUD Washington Wells Project Relicensing
FERC No. 2149
http://relicensing.dcpud.org

eureka software designed and created the Wells Project Relicensing web site for Douglas County PUD. The site was designed specifically to accommodate the long-term process of hydro relicensing sometimes taking up 7 years to complete. Douglas has chosen to do an Integrated License Process (ILP). The Douglas PUD license 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.

eureka software prides itself on its technological ingenuity and innovation in the development and integration of such a demanding web site application.

Sacramento Municipal Utility District's Upper America River Project Application for New License FERC No. 2101  

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.

Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County
Response to Recommendations, Terms and Conditions
Priest Rapids Project FERC No. 2114

This CD-ROM publication of compliance documents was submitted to the FERC on July 11, 2005.

Multiple documents were cross-linked with each other to ensure accessilibity to all elements of the filing. eureka software previously published the Initial Consultation Document , the Draft License Application and the Final License Application for the Priest Rapids Project.

Tacoma Power's Parks, Power, Fish & Wildlife Web Site
http://www.ci.tacoma.wa.us/power/parksandpower/

Web surfers can now access Recreation, Power, Fish, Wildlife and Relicensing information on the newly designed and reorganized web site. The site was designed by eureka software to integrate into the current Tacoma Power web site and to provide easier access to a complex amount of information.

Four hydroelectric projects are featured with information about recreation facilities, reservoirs, wildlife, fisheries, and relicensing. An added feature is the Find a Park database which allows users to check areas of interest and retrieve a list of park facilities matching their selections.

As with any complex web project, excellent collaboration between client and developer was the key to providing the best information and imagery for the web site and to develop and organizational structure that nor only works on the outside but functions well “under the hood”. Because of this the site went live without a hitch and slipped right in to the existing Tacoma Power web structure.

PG&E's DeSabla-Centerville Relicensing Web Sites
http://desabla-centerville.wss.bcentral.com/relicensing/default.aspx

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!

Developed by eureka software specifically for the hydro license compliance process, ES Compliance Tracker is a software tool to audit and track the compliance process. Features include the ability to import data from legacy applications such as Compliance-to-go, detailed report generation, browsing and searching tasks, identification of responsible parties by task, reminder letter generation, integration with process management software, and other useful activities to manage the complex compliance process.
