Comments 

March 4, 2010. 

On November 6, 2009, KC Hydro LLC 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act, proposing to study 

the feasibility of a hydropower 

development at North Unit Diversion 

Dam on the Deschutes River in 

Deschutes County, Oregon. 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 existing North Canal Diversion Dam, 

which is used by three irrigation 

districts, and would consist of the 

following new facilities: (1) An 

approximately 50-foot-long, 8- to 10- 

foot-diameter penstock to accommodate 

flows up to 800 cubic feet per second 

downstream of the dam; (2) a 

powerhouse containing a Francis 

turbine with an installed capacity of 1.8 

megawatts; (3) an approximately 500- 

foot-long, 21-kilovolt transmission line; 

and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would have an average 

annual generation of 7.2 gigawatt-hours.
