FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

Project No. 13874-000


Clean River Power 15, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

November 16, 2010.
    On October 22, 2010, Clean River Power 15, 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 River 
Hydroelectric Project (Wailua project) to be located 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 consist of the following: (1) A 503-foot-
long, 23-foot-high earth-filled, roller-compacted-concrete dam creating 
a 35-acre reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 430 acre-
feet; (2) a 40-foot-wide, 20-foot-high intake structure constructed on 
the left side of the dam, with a trash rack, fish screens, and a 
closure gate; (3) a 4,800-foot-long, 7-foot-diameter steel penstock; 
(4) a 60-foot-long, 50-foot-wide powerhouse containing one 1.8-megawatt 
(MW) and one 4.8-MW Francis-type turbine; (5) a 50-foot-long, concrete 
and rip rap-lined tailrace channel to return flows from the powerhouse 
to the Wailua River; (6) a switchyard containing a three-phase step-up 
transformer; (7) an approximately 1.92-mile-long, 25-kilovolt 
transmission line extending from the switchyard to the Lydgate 
substation; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Wailua project would be 20.7 gigawatt-hours.
