          - [Project No., 14652-000]

On December 10, 2014, BC Energy, 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 Bruskasna Creek Hydroelectric Project (Bruskasna Creek Project or project) to be located on Bruskasna Creek, in unincorporated Denali 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 would consist of the following new features: (1) A 50-foot-long, 10-foot-high concrete diversion weir traversing Bruskasna Creek; (2) an approximately 10-acre-foot impoundment; (3) a 13,500-foot-long, 2.5-foot-diameter steel penstock; (4) a 25-foot-long, 35-foot-wide concrete powerhouse; (5) a single 1.7-megawatt Pelton turbine/generator; (6) a 34,000-foot-long, 15-kilovolt (kV) transmission line interconnecting with an existing 15-kV Golden Valley Electric Association distribution line; (7) an approximately 46,000-foot-long access road; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Bruskasna Creek Project would be 5.2 gigawatt-hours.
