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

    On June 20, 2014, GreenVolt Hydro, 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 Two Girls Creek 
Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on Two Girls Creek near 
Sweet Home in Linn 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 new facilities: 
(1) A weir with screened intake; (2) a 19,365-foot-long, 30 to 36-inch-
diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) penstock; (3) a 50 feet by 40 
feet concrete block powerhouse with a single Pelton turbine/generator 
unit rated for 5 megawatt at 1,606 feet of net head; (4) a 1,000-foot-
long, 60-inch-diameter HDPE tailrace conduit; (5) an underground 7.2-
mile-long, 12-kilovolt (kV) transmission line connection to an existing 
transmission line (the point of interconnection); (6) a 40-feet-wide 
right of way access road; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 
annual generation of the project would be 36.87 gigawatt-hours.
