          - [Project No. 13878-000]

On November 12, 2010, Kahawai Power 1, 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 Hanalei River Hydroelectric Project (Hanalei River) to be located on the Hanalei River, Pekoa Stream, Kaapahu Stream, and Kaiwa Stream in the vicinity of Hanalei, 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 80-foot-long, 15-foot-high concrete diversion weir and intake structure on the Hanalei River creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 7.7-acre-feet; (2) a 23,500-foot-long, 3.5-foot-diameter main steel penstock running from the Hanalei diversion weir to the powerhouse; (3) a 35-foot-long, 5-foot-high concrete diversion weir with intake structure located on the Kaiwa Stream creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of less than 0.25 acre-feet; (4) a 1,100-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter steel feeder penstock from the Kaiwa intake structure to the main penstock; (5) a 35-foot-long, 5-foot-high concrete diversion weir with intake structure located on the Kaapahu Stream creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of less than 0.25 acre-feet; (6) a 2,800-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter steel feeder penstock from the Kaapahu intake to the main penstock; (7) a 35-foot-long, 5-foot-high concrete diversion weir with intake structure located on the Pekoa Stream creating a                           ( print page 76973)                        reservoir with a storage capacity of less than 0.25 acre-feet; (8) a 1,700-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter steel feeder penstock from the Pekoa intake to the main penstock; (9) a 60-foot-long, 40-foot-wide reinforced concrete powerhouse containing one 3.5-megawatt two-jet turgo turbine; (10) a substation with a 4.16/25-kilovolt (kV) three phase step-up transformer; (11) a one-mile-long, 25kV transmission line; and (12) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Hanalei River project would be 12.25 gigawatt-hours.
