Northern Wasco People’s Utility 

District; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted For Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

September 22, 2010. 

On August 23, 2010, Northern Wasco 

People’s Utility District (Northern 

Wasco PUD) 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 

White River Falls Hydroelectric project 

near Maupin, Wasco County, Oregon. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project calls for 

redevelopment of a hydroelectric project 

constructed in 1902 and 

decommissioned in 1963. Northern 

Wasco PUD proposes to reconstruct, 

replace, and repair some existing 

features, as well as build new features 

at the site. 

The proposed project will consist of 

the following: (1) New head works; (2) 

anchors placed throughout the existing 

weir; (3) a new 600-foot-long, 6-footdiameter penstock to be constructed at 

the site of the old structure; (4) a new 

powerhouse with two turbine/generator 

units with an installed capacity of 3.4 to 

4.0-megawatts; (5) a 4.15-kilovolt, 1,800- 

foot-long, underground transmission 

line connecting to an existing 

substation; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the White River Falls 

project is 16,000 megawatt-hours.
