[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.
