Public Utility District No. 1 of 

Snohomish County; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

May 14, 2010. 

On March 2, 2010, and supplemented 

on April 29, 2010, and May 4, 2010, 

Public Utility District No. 1 of 

Snohomish County, Washington 

(Snohomish PUD) filed an application 

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Deception Pass Tidal Energy Project 

(project). The project would be located 

in Puget Sound within Deception Pass, 

between Whidbey Island and Fidalgo 

Island, in Skagit and Island Counties, 

Washington. 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) Four approximately 

66-foot-diameter, 1.6-megawatt 

horizontal axis tidal energy turbine/ 

generator units, each mounted 

approximately 25 feet above the sea bed; 

(2) an approximately 1-mile-long subsea 

transmission cable, which may be 

buried as it approaches shore at Miller 

Bay; (3) a cable termination vault on 

shore; (4) either an approximately 6.5- 

mile long above ground transmission 

line connecting with Puget Sound 

Energy’s existing March Point 

substation, or an above ground 

transmission line and new substation 

connecting with an existing 115-kilovolt 

line, the location of which is yet to be 

determined; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The project is estimated to 

have average annual generation of 20.7 

gigawatt-hours, which would be 

distributed by the Snohomish PUD.

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

an application under section 7(b) of the 

Natural Gas Act and section 157.18 of

authority to abandon in place certain 

natural gas compressor units and 

appurtenant facilities at its Elk Basin 

Compressor Station located in Park 

County, Wyoming, as more fully 

detailed in the Application. 

Questions concerning this application 

may be directed to Keith A. Tiggelaar,
