[Project No. 14356–000] 

Nushagak Electric and Telephone 

Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On January 25, 2012, the Nushagak 

Electric and Telephone Cooperative, 

Inc. 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 

Dillingham Area Hydroelectric Project 

(Dillingham Project or project) to be 

located on Elva Creek and Grant River, 

near the town of Dillingham, Bristol Bay 

Borough, Alaska. 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 has two 

developments. The total installed 

capacity of both developments would be 

3.2 megawatts (MW) and the total 

estimated annual generation of the 

Dillingham Project would be 20.057 

gigawatt-hours (GWh). 

Lake Elva Development 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) A 50-foot-long, 10- 

foot-high rock-fill diversion dam 

constructed on the outlet of Lake Elva; 

(2) a 4,100-foot-long, 4-foot-diameter 

lake tap pipeline; (3) a 3,200-foot-long, 

3- to 3.5-foot-diameter penstock leading 

from the lake tap pipeline to the 

powerhouse; (4) a powerhouse 

containing two 0.75–MW Francis 

turbine/generator units; (5) a 40-footlong, 20-foot-wide tailrace discharging 

flows from the powerhouse into Elva 

Creek; (6) a 49-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt 

(kV) transmission line extending from 

the project powerhouse to a new 

substation approximately 5 miles north 

of Dillingham; (7) an approximately 3- 

mile-long access road; and (8) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Lake Elva 

development would be 7.927 GWh. 

Grant Lake Development 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) A 900-foot-long, 20- 

foot-high rock-fill diversion dam 

constructed on the outlet of Grant Lake 

(main dam); (2) a 1-mile-long, 20-foothigh diversion canal excavated 

approximately 1 mile north of the main 

dam; (3) a 300-foot-long, 20-foot-high 

rock-fill diversion dam constructed at 

the terminus of the diversion canal; (4) 

an intake structure on the diversion dam 

leading to a 5,000-foot-long, 5-footdiameter pipeline; (5) a 3,100-foot-long, 

4-foot-diameter penstock leading from 

the pipeline to the powerhouse; (6) a 

powerhouse containing a 1.7–MW 

Turgo turbine/generator unit; (7) a 40- 

foot-long, 20-foot-wide tailrace 

discharging flows from the powerhouse 

into Grant River; (8) a 46-mile-long, 

34.5-kV transmission line extending 

from the project powerhouse to a new 

substation approximately 5 miles north 

of Dillingham; (9) an approximately 2.5- 

mile-long access road; and (10) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Grant Lake 

development would be 12.13 GWh.
