12958 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Notices 

Energy Exchange, Inc. withdrew its application on 

January 6, 2011, which became effective January 21, 

2011. 

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 has four sites 

that are being evaluated for potential 

hydropower installations, and would 

consist of the following: 

Site #1—Pipeline 1 into McMillin 

Reservoir Alternative 

(1) A new powerhouse, located at 

McMillan Reservoir, containing two 

turbine/generating units with a total 

installed capacity of 500 kilowatts (kW); 

and (2) a station transformer at the 

powerhouse to connect the turbine 

output to a 13.8-kilovolt (kV) 

distribution line owned by Tacoma 

Power. Water would enter the 

powerhouse from the existing Pipeline 

1, and exit the powerhouse directly into 

McMillan Reservoir. The project would 

produce an estimated average annual 

generation of about 2,400 megawatthours (MWh). 

Site #2—Second Supply Pipeline into 

P4 

(1) A new powerhouse, located at the 

Portland Avenue Reservoir, containing 

two turbine/generating units with a total 

installed capacity of 500 kW; and (2) a 

station transformer at the powerhouse to 

connect the turbine output to a 13.8-kV 

distribution line owned by Tacoma 

Power. Water would enter the 

powerhouse from the second supply 

pipeline and exit the powerhouse into 

either Pipeline 4 or into the Portland 

Avenue Reservoir. The project would 

produce an estimated average annual 

generation of about 2,400 MWh. 

Site #3—Second Supply Pipeline at the 

Flow Control Facility 

(1) A new powerhouse, located at the 

112th Street Flow Control Facility site, 

containing two turbine/generating units 

with a total installed capacity of 1,200 

kW; and (2) a station transformer at the 

powerhouse to connect the turbine 

output to a 13.8-kV distribution line 

owned by Tacoma Power. Water would 

enter the powerhouse from the second 

supply pipeline, and exit the 

powerhouse back into the second 

supply pipeline. The project would 

produce an estimated average annual 

generation of about 5,100 MWh. 

Site #4—North Fork Well Field 

(1) A new powerhouse, located at the 

Green River headworks at the lower end 

of the Green River Watershed, 

containing two turbine/generating units 

with a total installed capacity of 800 

kW; and (2) a station transformer at the 

powerhouse to connect the turbine 

output to a 13.8-kV distribution line 

owned by Tacoma Power. Water would 

enter the powerhouse from the existing 

pipeline that brings water to the 

headworks from the North Field wells, 

and exit the powerhouse back into the 

existing Headworks Reservoir. The 

project would produce an estimated 

average annual generation of about 

3,300 MWh. 

The combined generating capacity of 

all four sites would be 3,000 kW and the 

total estimated average annual 

generation would be 13,200 MWh.

[Project No. 13834–000] 

Amnor Hydro West Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On August 23, 2010, and 

supplemented on November 3, 2010, 

Amnor Hydro West, Inc. 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 Unity Dam 

Hydropower Project (project) to be 

located at the Unity reservoir and dam 

in Hereford, Baker County, Oregon. 

Unity reservoir and dam are owned and 

operated by the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation (Reclamation) and are 

currently used for irrigation. 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 utilize 

flows from the Unity reservoir and 

would consist of the following: (1) A 

new 110-foot-long open channel 

beginning near the left abutment of the 

dam and connecting with three 63-inchdiameter butterfly valves; (2) three new 

656-foot-long, 63-inch-diameter steel 

penstocks that connect to a new 

powerhouse; (3) a new 30-foot-long, 30- 

foot-wide, 30-foot-high powerhouse 

with three Francis turbine/generating 

units for an installed capacity of 4 

megawatts; (4) a new 98-foot-long 

tailrace; (5) a new 1,000-foot-long, 14.7- 

kilovolt transmission line extending 

from the powerhouse to a proposed 

substation; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the project would be 17.5 

gigawatt-hours.

II. Background 

Tick-borne diseases, including Lyme, 

Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and 

anaplasmosis, are an increasing problem 

in the United States, both in terms of 

frequency of occurrence and range. 

Increases in the ranges of disease hosts 

and carriers, possibly due to changes in 

populations and climatic conditions 

mean that tick bite protection and 

disease prevention have become critical 

needs. Adolescents and children are 

especially at risk because of the time 

they spend outdoors. 

It is important that the Federal 

government assist in exploring means of 

effectively identifying challenges and 

ways to remedy this growing problem of 

tick management through Integrated 

Pest Management (IPM). This 

conference will identify knowledge gaps 

and barriers to effective communitywide tick IPM programs; propose the 

next steps in addressing knowledge gaps 

and eliminating barriers; and develop a 

framework for addressing the highest 

priority needs. 

The conference will focus on six topic 

areas that will contribute to the 

development of an IPM-based 

prevention strategy and action plan: 

1. Protecting children in school and 

outdoor environments. 

2. Creating institutional structures for 

community level IPM. 

3. Examining the role of landscape 

planning in tick management. 

4. Public outreach strategies to reach 

targeted populations. 

5. Protecting outdoor worker 

exposure. 

6. Measuring the impact of prevention 

strategy in the United States.
