Warmsprings Irrigation District; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

September 4, 2009.
    On August 14, 2009, Warmsprings Irrigation District filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Warm 
Springs Hydroelectric Project located at the existing Bureau of 
Reclamation's Warm Springs Dam on the Malheur River, 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 facilities of the 
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Warm Springs Dam including the reservoir; 
and would consist of the following new facilities: (1) A proposed 60-
inch-diameter and 100-feet-long penstock; (2) a new powerhouse 
containing one generating unit having an installed capacity of 2.5-
megawatts; (3) a proposed 100-feet-long, 15-kilovolt transmission line; 
and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an 
average annual generation of 6.6 gigawatt-hours.
