July 23, 2009. 

On May 12, 2009, Henry County, Iowa 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act, proposing to study 

the feasibility of the Oakland Mills Dam 

Project No. 13465, to be located at the 

existing Oakland Mills Dam, on the 

Skunk River, in Henry County, Iowa. 

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 existing Oakland Mills Dam is 

owned by Henry County and was 

constructed in 1926 and used for power 

generation for nearly 40 years before 

being abandoned. The proposed project 

would consist of: (1) The existing 7-foothigh Oakland Mills concrete dam 

quipped with a 250-foot-long spillway, 

an 8-foot-wide fishway, a 75-foot-wide 

section consisting of a 23-foot-wide 

taintor gate, and a 127-foot-wide section 

that includes the remaining foundation 

of the original powerhouse; (2) an 

existing 28-acre impoundment with 62- 

acre-feet of usable storage; (3) a new 45- 

foot-wide by 60-foot-long intake conduit 

connecting to; (4) five new 200-kilowatt 

(kw) turbine generator units to be 

located in the Skunk River for a total 

installed capacity of 1,000 kw; (5) a new 

50-foot-long, 12.5-kilovolt transmission 

line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would operate in runof-river mode and generate an estimated 

average annual generation of 7,008,000 

kilowatt-hours.

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Lake Clementine Hydroelectric Project, 

which is located on the North Fork of 

American River, in Placer County, 

California. 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’

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: 

(1) An existing 620-foot-long, 155- 

foot-high, concrete arch North Fork 

dam; and (2) an existing reservoir 

having a surface area of 280 acres, a

storage capacity of 14,700 acre-feet, and 

normal water surface elevation of 718 

feet mean sea level. American 

Renewables proposes to study the 

following three options to develop the 

Lake Clementine Hydroelectric Project. 

Option 1: (1) A 9-foot-diameter, 600- 

foot-long, steel penstock to convey 

water to the powerhouse; (2) a penstock 

bifurcation in the powerhouse 

supplying water to two generating units; 

(3) a powerhouse containing two new 

generating units having a total installed 

capacity of 8 to10 megawatts (MW); (4) 

a 300-foot-long tailrace channel 

returning flow to the North Fork of the 

American River; (5) a proposed 8,400- 

foot-long, 60-kilovolt (kV) transmission 

line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would have an average 

annual generation of 25 to 30 gigawatthours (GWh). Option 2: (1) A 9-footdiameter, 600-foot-long, concrete-lined 

tunnel to convey water to the 

powerhouse, (2) outlet works that would 

bifurcate in the powerhouse supplying 

water to two generating units; (3) a 

powerhouse containing two new 

generating units having a total installed 

capacity of 8 to10 MW; (4) a 300-footlong tailrace channel returning flow to 

the North Fork of the American River; 

(5) a proposed 8,400-foot-long, 60-kV 

transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

have an average annual generation of 25 

to 30 GWh. Option 3: (1) A 9-footdiameter, 600-foot-long steel penstock 

through the dam to convey water to the 

powerhouse, (2) outlet works that would 

bifurcate in the powerhouse supplying 

water to two generating units; (3) a 

powerhouse containing two new 

generating units having a total installed 

capacity of 8 to10 MW; (4) a 300-footlong tailrace channel returning flow to 

the North Fork of the American River; 

(5) a proposed 8,400-foot-long, 60-kV
