          - [Project No. 14106-000]

On March 1, 2011, Kahawai Power 5, 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 Wailua Reservoir Water Power (Wailua Reservoir project) to be located on the Wailua reservoir in the vicinity of Wailua Homesteads, in Kauai County, Hawaii. 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 will utilize flows from the existing 1,400-foot-long earth-fill dam on the Wailua Reservoir, which is owned and operated by State of Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources. New project features would consist of the following: (1) An intake structure at the existing 36-inch low-level outlet structure with a trash rack and control gate; (2) 14,600-foot-long, 42-inch-diameter steel penstock from the intake structure to the powerhouse; (3) a 50-foot by 40-foot reinforced concrete powerhouse containing one two-jet Turgo turbine with a capacity of 2 megawatts; (4) a 45-foot-long, 15-foot-wide tailrace channel; (5) an approximately 12,500-foot-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line which will tie into the existing grid near the Lyngate switchyard; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Wailua Reservoir project would be 11.5 gigawatt-hours.
