KW Sackheim Development; Bradley 

D. Reeves; Notice of Competing 

Preliminary Permit Applications 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comment, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

August 20, 2009. 

KW Sackheim Development 

(Sackheim) and Bradley D. Reeves 

(Reeves) filed preliminary permit 

applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Lake Valley 

Canal Project, to be located between the 

North Fork of the North Fork American 

River and Drum canal in Placer County, 

California. The same project is referred 

to as the Parshall Canal Project in the 

Reeves application. The Sackheim 

application also proposes to study the 

feasibility of two additional sites: (1) 

The Bear-Halsey drop on Bear Creek 

canal to the Halsey forebay in Placer 

County, California; and (2) the WiseRock drop on the Wise canal to Rock 

Creek reservoir in Placer County, 

California. All three of the above sites 

are non-generating features of the 

Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s 

(PG&E) Drum Spaulding Project No. 

2310. The Sackheim application was 

filed on May 12, 2008, and the Reeves 

application was filed on April 28, 2009. 

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 Lake Valley Canal Project 

proposed by Sackheim would consist of: 

(1) The existing 8,400-foot-long Lake 

Valley canal between the North Fork of 

the North Fork American River and 

Drum canal; (2) an existing 30-inchdiameter, 210-foot-long pipeline serving 

as a penstock; (3) a new powerhouse 

containing a single Pelton type turbine 

generator rated at 1,300 kilowatts; (4) 

approximately 800 feet of new threephase power line following an existing 

PG&E road and an upgrade of 1,600 feet 

of existing transmission line from 

single-phase to 3-phase. The proposed 

Lake Valley Canal Project would have 

an average annual generation of 4 

gigawatt-hours. 

The Parshall Canal Project proposed 

by Reeves would consist of: (1) The 

existing 8,400-foot-long canal between 

the North Fork of the North Fork of the 

American River and Drum canal; (2) an 

existing 2,100 feet long, 30-inchdiameter pipeline serving as a penstock; 

(3) a proposed new powerhouse with a 

single Pelton type generator rated at 

1,050 kilowatts; (4) approximately 800 

feet of three-phase transmission line 

following an existing PG&E road along 

the Drum canal and an upgrade of 1,600 

feet of single-phase line to three-phase 

line. The proposed Parshall Canal 

Project would have an average annual 

generation of 4 gigawatt-hours. 

The following two developments are 

only proposed by Sackheim: 

The Bear River Canal-Halsey Drop 

development would consist of: (1) The 

30-foot drop at the end of the Bear River 

canal and dropping down to the Halsey 

forebay; (2) a new powerhouse 

enclosing a propeller or bulb type 

turbine generator rated at 800 kilowatts, 

located at the terminus of the Bear River 

canal discharge to the Halsey forebay; 

and (3) approximately 200 feet of new 

three-phase power line and the upgrade 

of approximately 1,400 feet of singlephase line to three-phase line. 

The Wise Canal-Rock Creek reservoir 

development would consist of: (1) The 

existing Wise canal from the Rock Creek 

diversion to Rock Creek reservoir; (2) a 

new powerhouse containing a bulb type 

or propeller turbine generator rated at 

900 kilowatts; (3) a 12-kva transformer 

and ancillary equipment; and (4) a new 

700-foot-long, 12-kilovolt transmission 

line.
