Commission 

[Project No., 14644–000] 

Kings River Conservation District; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On October 29, 2014, the Kings River 

Conservation District (applicant) filed 

an application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Peoples Weir 

Hydroelectric Project at the Peoples 

Weir on the Kings River, near the city 

of Kingsburg in King 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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The applicant seeks to study one or 

more configurations for installing 

generating facilities immediately below 

Peoples Weir that would generate with 

streamflow that would normally pass 

over the dam. Based upon preliminary 

studies, the site has the potential to 

generate 590 kilowatts with an annual 

energy output of 1.9 gigawatt-hours. The 

project would likely connect to PG&E’s 

transmission system located about 1000 

feet from the powerhouse site.
