Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications; 
Municipality of Skagway Borough

    On November 13, 2024, the Municipality of Skagway Borough 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 
Burro Creek Hydroelectric Project (or Project) to be located on Burro 
Creek, two miles southwest of Skagway, 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 would consist of the following: (1) a 100-
foot-long, 10 foot-high reinforced concrete diversion dam; (2) a 0.5-
acre impoundment with a normal surface elevation of approximately 1,160 
feet above sea level; (3) a 12,300-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter penstock 
buried within an access road; (4) a 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide 
powerhouse; (5) a 13,300-foot-long access road extending from the dam 
to tidewater at Burro Creek; (6) a 1,000-

foot-long underground transmission line from powerhouse to tidewater; 
(7) a 2-mile-long submarine cable laid on the floor of Lynn Canal 
extending from tidewater to the Ore dock facility in Skagway; and (8) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Project 
would be 24,800 megawatt-hours.
