Commission 

[Project No. 13843–000] 

FFP Qualified Hydro 24, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On September 28, 2010, FFP 

Qualified Hydro 24, 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 Cle Elum Dam 

Hydroelectric Project (project) to be 

located at the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation’s Cle Elum dam on the Cle 

Elum River, near Cle Elum 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 utilize 

the Cle Elum dam and would consist of 

the following: (1) A new 1,000-foot-long, 

12-foot-wide steel liner penstock; (2) a 

new 70-foot-long, 100-foot-wide 

reinforced concrete powerhouse with 

turbine/generating units with an 

installed capacity of 18 megawatts; (3) a 

new 15-megawatt substation adjacent to 

the powerhouse; (4) a new 0.75-milelong, 34.5-kilovolt overhead 

transmission line; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the project would be 40 

gigawatt-hours.
