KW Sackheim Development; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

August 14, 2009. 

On May 12, 2008, KW Sackheim 

Development filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing 

to study the feasibility of the Jackson 

Meadows Dam Project, located on the 

Middle Yuba River, in Nevada County, 

California. The proposed site is a nongenerating feature of the Nevada 

Irrigation District’s Yuba-Bear Project, 

FERC No. P–2266. 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. 

Jackson Meadows Development 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: 

(1) An existing 1,530 foot-long, 

195foot-high embankment dam; (2) an 

existing reservoir having a surface area 

of 738 acres and a storage capacity of 

52,500 acre-feet; (3) one penstock 

consisting of an existing 42-inchdiameter pipe, 240 feet in length; (4) a 

new powerhouse containing one new 

generating unit having an installed 

capacity of 2.5 megawatts; and (5) a 

proposed 8,000-foot-long, 60-kva power 

transmission line. The proposed Jackson 

Meadows Development would have an 

average annual generation of 8.7 

gigawatt-hours.
