[Project No. 14207–000] 

Percheron Power, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On May 31, 2011, Percheron Power, 

LLC filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Scooteney Reservoir Outlet Water Power 

Project (Scooteney Outlet Project or 

project) to be located on the Potholes 

East Canal, which is an outlet structure 

from the Scooteney Reservoir, near 

Othello, Franklin County, Washington. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) An approximately 

300-foot-long intake structure installed 

on the Potholes East Canal to divert flow 

from the canal to the turbines, which 

would be 100 feet wide at the 

intersection with the canal and would 

narrow to 50 feet wide before entering 

the powerhouse, and would include a 

100-foot-wide, 15-foot-high intake grate 

and a 50-foot-wide, 15-foot-high trash 

rack; (2) an approximately 65-foot-long, 

20-foot-wide powerhouse containing 

four low-head turbine/generator units 

rated for approximately 260 kilowatts 

each (total capacity of 1,050 kilowatts) 

at an average head of 11 feet; (3) a 600- 

foot-long, 11-foot-high bypass weir, 

constructed in parallel to the west bank 

of the existing Potholes East Canal, to 

function as a project spillway; (4) a 

discharge canal returning flows from the 

powerhouse to the Potholes East Canal; 

(5) a 20-foot-long, 40-foot-wide 

substation at the powerhouse which 

will connect with the existing 

distribution line at the project site; and 

(6) appurtenant facilities. The project 

will be located on federal lands, and 

would operate as run-of-release using 

irrigation flows provided by the Bureau 

of Reclamation and the South Columbia 

Basin Irrigation District. The estimated 

annual generation of the Scooteney 

Outlet Project would be 3.76 gigawatthours.
