DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13667-000]

 
City of Sandpoint; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

April 15, 2010.
    On February 26, 2010, and revised April 9, 2010, the City of 
Sandpoint filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the 
feasibility of the Little Sand Creek Hydroelectric Project located on 
Little Sand Creek in Bonner County, Idaho. The existing dam is owned 
and operated by the City of Sandpoint. 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.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) An 
existing 50-foot-long, 30-foot-high concrete gravity dam; (2) a 0.15-
acre reservoir; (3) an existing 2,500-foot-long 18-inch diameter steel 
intake pipe running from the dam to the water treatment plant will act 
as the project's penstock; (4) a powerhouse next to the water treatment 
plant containing a Pelton turbine and a 65-kilowatt generator; and (5) 
appurtenant facilities.
    Applicant Contact: Matthew Mulder, Assistant City Engineer, City of 
Sandpoint, 1123 Lake Street, Sandpoint, ID 83864; phone: (208) 263-
3471.
    FERC Contact: Joseph C. Adamson, 202-502-8085.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file 
competing applications: 60 days from the issuance of this notice. 
Competing applications and notices of intent must meet the requirements 
of 18 CFR 4.36. Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and 
competing applications may be filed electronically via the Internet.
