Archon Energy 1, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On July 18, 2012, Archon Energy 1, Inc. (Archon or applicant), 
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 DaGuerre Point Dam Hydropower Project (DaGuerre Point Dam Project 
or project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) 
DaGuerre Point Dam, on the Yuba River, near the City of Marysville, 
Yuba 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.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 
diversion structure and intake canal; (2) a powerhouse containing eight 
375 kW Archimedean screw turbine/generating units with a total capacity 
of 3 megawatts; (3) a tailrace channel; and (4) a 3,500-foot-long, 12-
kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The proposed project would have an 
average annual generation of 21,000 megawatt-hours.
