          - [Project No. 13882-000]

On November 19, 2010, the City of Salem, Oregon filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower development in the Geren Island Diversion on the North Santiam River in Marion 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 consist of three developments: Franzen Reservoir Plant; Turner Control Plant; and Fairmount Reservoir Plant, and would utilize flows from two existing pipelines for the City of Salem's water system drawing water from the existing Franzen and Fairmount reservoirs.

The Franzen Reservoir Plant would consist of: (1) A new penstock intake at the powerhouse site; (2) a new powerhouse with a single turbine/generator unit at an installed capacity of 0.5 megawatt (MW); and (3) a new standard flow meter to direct flow from the penstock to the turbine.

The Turner Control Plant would consist of: (1) A new penstock intake at the powerhouse site; (2) a new powerhouse with a single turbine/generator unit at an installed capacity of 0.5 MW; and (3) a new standard flow meter to direct flow from the penstock to the turbine.

The Fairmount Reservoir Plant would consist of: (1) A new 36-inch-diameter bypass pipeline to convey water from the Franzen reservoir to the Fairmount reservoir; (2) a new powerhouse with a single turbine/generator unit at an installed capacity of 0.1 MW; and (3) a new standard flow meter to direct flow from the penstock to the turbine.

The three developments would have a combined capacity of 1.1 MW. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 8,000,000 kilowatt-hours.
