DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 14879–000] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing 

Applications: Go With the Flow Hydro 

Power, LLC 

On June 8, 2018, Go With the Flow 

Hydro Power, LLC (Go With the Flow) 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act, proposing to study 

the feasibility of the Go With the Flow 

Hydroelectric Project (project) to be 

located on the Umatilla River about 8.7 

river miles upstream from the 

confluence with the Columbia River, 

and 2.1 miles west southwest of 

Hermiston in Umatilla county, Oregon. 

On July 11, 2018, the applicant filed an 

amended permit application for the 

project. 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 will be at the 

site of the existing, abandoned Jim Boyd 

Hydroelectric Project (P–7269). The 

license for the Jim Boyd Project was 

terminated in 2011, and Go With the 

Flow has purchased these facilities. The 

proposed run-of-river project will 

involve rehabilitation and upgrade of 

the following existing facilities: A 3.5- 

foot-high concrete diversion weir; a 

canal intake with trashracks and fish 

screens; A 5,350-foot-long power canal; 

four 5-foot-diameter, 280-foot-long steel 

penstocks; a powerhouse with 4 

turbine/generators with rated capacity 

of 300 kilowatts (kW) each for a total 

capacity of 1,200 kW; a 60-foot-wide, 20 

foot-long concrete-lined tailrace; a 0.25- 

mile-long, 12.47 kilovolt transmission 

line; and access roads. 

The estimated averaged annual 

generation of the project would be 3 

gigawatt-hours and would be conveyed 

from the powerhouse to the existing 

Pacific Power and Light Company 

substation.
