[Project No. 13850–000] 

Qualified Hydro 25, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions to Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On September 30, 2010, Qualified 

Hydro 25, 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 Easton Diversion Dam 

Hydroelectric Project (Easton Dam 

project) to be located on the Yakima 

River near Easton in Kittitas County, 

Washington. 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 66-foothigh, 248-foot-long concrete gravity dam 

on the Yakima River which is owned 

and operated by the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation; (2) an existing gated outlet 

with a 1,320 cubic feet per second 

capacity; (3) a new 20-foot-wide 

concrete intake structure with trash 

racks and intake gates; (4) a new 325- 

foot-long, 72-inch-diameter steel 

penstock from the intake structure to the 

powerhouse; (5) a 50-foot by 40-foot 

reinforced concrete powerhouse 

containing one Kaplan turbine with a 

capacity of 1.2 megawatts; (6) a new 

substation; (7) a new approximately 

1,400-foot-long, 34.5–69 kilovolt 

transmission line which will tie into an 

undetermined interconnection; and (8) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Easton Dam 

project would be 5.0 gigawatt-hours.
