Valley Affordable Housing 

Corporation; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

January 21, 2011. 

On December 10, 2010, the Valley 

Affordable Housing Corporation 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 Manville Hydroelectric 

Project to be located at the Manville 

Dam, on the Blackstone River, in 

Providence County, Rhode Island. 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: (1) The existing 22-foot-high, 260- 

foot-long Manville Dam with one-foot 

flashboards owned by the Town of 

Cumberland; (2) an existing 76-acre 

impoundment with a normal water 

surface elevation of 106 feet (National 

Geodetic Vertical Datum 1929); (3) a 

new trashrack and stoplogs; (4) a new 

approximately 60-foot-wide intake in 

place of a 60-foot-long section of the 

spillway that would be removed; (5) 

new 10-foot-long, 12-foot-wide dual 

concrete penstocks; (6) a new 30-foottall (extending 20 feet above the 

spillway), 60-foot-wide powerhouse 

adjacent to the training walls; (7) a new 

25-foot-wide, 5-foot-deep crest gate 

adjacent to the powerhouse; (8) two new 

bulb Kaplan turbines with a combined 

installed capacity of 1,026 kilowatts; (9) 

a new approximately 800-foot-long, 480- 

volt transmission line; and (10) 

appurtenant facilities. The project 

would have an estimated annual 

generation of 4,221 megawatt-hours.

City of Salem, 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 

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 kilowatthours.
