Lake Clementine Hydro, LLC; Notice of Successive Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On October 2, 2012, Lake Clementine Hydro, LLC (Lake Clementine 
Hydro) filed an application for a successive preliminary permit, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA). Lake 
Clementine Hydro proposes to study the feasibility of the Lake 
Clementine Small Hydroelectric Project to be located at the U.S. Corps 
of Engineer's North Fork Dam on the North Fork of the American River, 
near the City of Auburn, Placer 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.
    By harnessing the water that now flows over the spillway of the 
North Fork Dam, Lake Clementine Hydro plans to install two 7.5 megawatt 
(MW) generation units, for a total installed capacity of 15 MW and an 
estimated annual generation of 42.0 gigawatt-hours. The applicant plans 
to study three alternative designs for the project.
