[Project No. 13560-000]


Sierra Energy Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

September 10, 2009.
    On July 23, 2009, and revised on August 27, 2009, Sierra Energy 
Company filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the 
feasibility of the North Unit Diversion Dam Project, located 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 Unit 
Diversion Dam; and would consist of the following new facilities: (1) A 
diversion structure approximately 100-foot-long, 15-foot-wide, and 6-
foot-deep; (2) an 8- to 10-foot-diameter, 150-foot-long penstock; (3) a 
powerhouse containing two generating units having an installed capacity 
of 1.8 megawatts; (4) a 500-foot-long, 21-kilovolt transmission line; 
and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an 
average annual generation of 7.2 gigawatt-hours.
