KW Sackheim Development; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

August 14, 2009.
    On May 12, 2008, KW Sackheim Development filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Jackson Meadows Dam Project, 
located on the Middle Yuba River, in Nevada County, California. The 
proposed site is a non-generating feature of the Nevada Irrigation 
District's Yuba-Bear Project, FERC No. P-2266. The sole purpose of a 
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority 
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary 
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by 
others without the owners' express permission.

Jackson Meadows Development

    The proposed project would consist of the following:
    (1) An existing 1,530 foot-long, 195foot-high embankment dam; (2) 
an existing reservoir having a surface area of 738 acres and a storage 
capacity of 52,500 acre-feet; (3) one penstock consisting of an 
existing 42-inch-diameter pipe, 240 feet in length; (4) a new 
powerhouse containing one new generating unit having an installed 
capacity of 2.5 megawatts; and (5) a proposed 8,000-foot-long, 60-kva 
power transmission line. The proposed Jackson Meadows Development would 
have an average annual generation of 8.7 gigawatt-hours.
