 Central Oregon Irrigation District; Notice of Competing 
Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments and Interventions

November 22, 2010.
    On October 6, 2010, Central Oregon Irrigation District filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Cline 
Falls Hydroelectric Project located at the Cline Falls diversion dam on 
the Deschutes River in Deschutes 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 existing and 
proposed facilities: (1) The existing 300-foot-long, 5-foot-high 
diversion structure; (2) a pool upstream of the diversion structure 
with a storage capacity of approximately 2-acre-feet; (3) a wooded 
radial gate for diversion control; (4) a 400-foot-long lined canal and 
flume channel; (5) a 45-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter steel penstock; (6) 
a powerhouse containing one 750-kW turbine/generator; (7) a tailrace 
leading from the rock chamber located under the turbine and a short 
tailrace to the river; (8) and appurtenant facilities. The proposed 
project would have an average annual generation of 2 gigawatt-hours.
