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

    On August 25, 2015, Twain Resources, 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 Scheelite Water Power 
Project (Scheelite Project or project) to be located along Pine Creek, 
near the City of Bishop, in Inyo County, California. 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 intake 
receiving the water discharge from the Tungstar Redux Water Power 
Project; (2) an18-inch-diameter, approximately 6,500-foot-long steel 
penstock, conveying water to; (3) a powerhouse containing a single 810-
kilowatt impulse turbine and an 840 kilovolt-ampere generator; (4) a 
new substation at the powerhouse; (5) an approximately 600-foot-long, 
12-kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting the substation to a 12-kV 
California Edison-owned transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Scheelite Project 
would be 4,860 megawatt-hours.
