Bishop Tungsten Development, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

October 20, 2010. 

On November 9, 2009, Bishop 

Tungsten Development, LLC 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 Pine Creek Mine Water 

Discharge System Site 3 Project to be 

located near the town of Bishop, in Inyo 

County, California. 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. 

An existing network of penstocks 

collect and convey the existing Pine 

Creek Mine discharge water above the 

project area. The mine discharge 

averages up to 14 cfs. The proposed 

project would utilize a single, 

approximately 20-inch-in-diameter 

conduit within the project area that 

would convey the discharge water to the 

turbine where the pressure would be 

reduced. The applicant proposes to 

interconnect with an existing 56- 

kilovolt transmission line, maintained 

by Southern California Edison, which 

runs the length of the canyon. The 

estimated annual generation of the 

project would be 6,850,000 kilowatthours.

2010, ORPC Alaska 2, LLC 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 East Foreland Tidal 

Energy Project (East Foreland project) to 

be located in Cook Inlet in the vicinity 

of Nikiski, Alaska, in the Municipality 

of Anchorage and Matanuksa-Susitna 

Borough, Alaska. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant

The proposed project will consist of 

the following: (1) A series of 150- 

kilowatt (kW) TideGen and/or 150-kW 

OCGen turbine-generator modules with 

a combined capacity between 5 

megawatts (MW) and 100 MW; (2) a 1- 

to 8-mile-long, 13.5-kilovolt (kV) direct 

current underwater transmission cable 

from the module site to a shore station 

on the west coast of the Kenai 

Peninsula; (3) an approximately 0.25- 

mile-long, 4.16– to 34.5–kV alternating 

current terrestrial transmission line 

connecting the shore station to a 

substation site located on the Kenai 

Peninsula; and (4) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the East Foreland project 

would be between 13,000 and 340,000 

megawatt-hours.
