Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13661-000]

 
Coastal Hydropower, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

September 21, 2010.
    On February 9, 2010, and supplemented on July 16, 2010, Coastal 
Hydropower, LLC filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant 
to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the 
feasibility of the Walterville Headgate Dam Hydroelectric Project, to 
be located at the Walterville Headgate Dam on the Walterville Canal, a 
tributary of the McKenzie River, in Lane County, Oregon. 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) Three new 
submersible Kaplan turbine/generator units with a total installed 
capacity of 1.5 megawatts, to be installed replacing some sections of 
the existing dam; (2) a new control house building; and (3) a new 
approximately 1,200-foot-long, 15-kilovolt transmission line 
interconnecting to an existing transmission line. The estimated annual 
generation of the project would be 7.9 gigawatt-hours.
