City of Astoria, OR; Notice of 

Competing Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments and Interventions 

January 21, 2011. 

On November 19, 2010, the City of 

Astoria, Oregon filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Bear Creek Water Supply Hydroelectric 

Project utilizing the Astoria Municipal 

Water System on Bear Creek in Clatsop 

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, Site 1 Plant, 

Reservoir 3 Plant, and Reservoir 2 Plant, 

and would include the following 

facilities: 

Site 1 Plant 

(1) An 8-foot-long, 14-foot-wide vault 

housing a single 40-kilowatt (kW) 

turbine/generator unit; and (2) an 

approximately 1,290-foot-long, 26-inchdiameter high density polyethylene 

penstock. 

Reservoir 3 Plant 

(1) The existing Reservoir 3 with a 

surface area of 3.4-acres and a storage 

capacity of approximately 61-acre-foot 

at elevation 426 feet mean sea level 

(msl); (2) an existing structure which 

will house a single turbine/generator 

with an installed capacity of 50 kW 

unit; (3) a standard flow meter; and (4) 

an approximately 10-mile-long, 21-inchdiameter steel penstock. 

Reservoir 2 Plant 

(1) The existing Reservoir 2 with a 

surface area of approximately 2.4-acres 

and a storage capacity of approximately 

15-acre-foot at elevation of 265-feet msl; 

(2) an existing structure which will 

house a single turbine/generator unit 

with an installed capacity of 50 kW; (3) 

a standard flow meter; and (4) an 

approximately one-mile-long, 21-inchdiameter steel penstock. 

The three developments would have a 

combined capacity of 145 kilowatts. The 

proposed project would have an average 

annual generation of 850,000 kilowatthours.

Idaho Irrigation District; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

January 21, 2011. 

On November 12, 2010, the Idaho 

Irrigation District 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 Idaho Irrigation District 

Hydroelectric Project (project) to be 

located on the Idaho Canal, a tributary 

of the Snake River, in Bonneville and 

Jefferson counties, Idaho. 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 

the following: (1) An existing canal 

intake consisting of a 75-foot-wide trash 

rack structure and, about 50 feet 

downstream, a 10-foot-high, 71-footwide headgate structure; (2) the upper 

3.2 miles of the existing Idaho Canal, 

whose embankment heights within that 

reach would be increased 1–3 feet to 

convey up to 1,000 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) of additional flows; (3) a 

new gate structure diverting flows to the 

powerhouse while allowing irrigation 

flows to continue down the canal; (4) a

new powerhouse, containing one 1.2- 

megawatt Kaplan turbine with a 

hydraulic capacity of 1,000 cfs and a 

generator, discharging flows into the 

Snake River; (5) a gated overflow 

spillway to pass flood flows around the 

powerhouse; (6) a 3,000-foot-long, 15- 

kilovolt transmission line extending to a 

distribution line owned by Rocky 

Mountain Power; (7) a switchyard; and 

(8) appurtenant facilities. Flow 

diversions for the project would take 

into account minimum flow 

requirements for the bypassed reach of 

the Snake River. The estimated annual 

generation of the project would be 7.5 

gigawatt-hours.
