KC Hydro LLC; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments

March 4, 2010.
    On November 6, 2009, KC Hydro LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower development at North 
Unit Diversion Dam on the Deschutes River in Deschutes County, Oregon. 
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 utilize the existing North Canal 
Diversion Dam, which is used by three irrigation districts, and would 
consist of the following new facilities: (1) An approximately 50-foot-
long, 8- to 10-foot-diameter penstock to accommodate flows up to 800 
cubic feet per second downstream of the dam; (2) a powerhouse 
containing a Francis turbine with an installed capacity of 1.8 
megawatts; (3) an approximately 500-foot-long, 21-kilovolt transmission 
line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have 
an average annual generation of 7.2 gigawatt-hours.
