Consolidated Irrigation Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 30, 2011, the Consolidated Irrigation Company of Preston, 
Idaho, 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 Consolidated Irrigation Glendale Conduit Hydro 
Project (Glendale Conduit Project or project) to be located on Mink and 
Cub Creeks, near Preston, in Franklin County, Idaho. The project would 
not occupy any Federal lands. 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) An 
existing screened intake on Mink Creek; (2) an existing screened intake 
on Cub Creek; (3) a new pipeline and penstock consisting of 8,520 feet 
of 24-inch-diameter, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, 4,340 feet 
of 30-inch-diameter HDPE pipe, and 4,060 feet of 36-inch-diameter HDPE 
pipe; (4) a powerhouse containing a 500-kilowatt turbine-generator; (5) 
a 1,700-foot-long, underground 12-kilovolt transmission cable 
connecting to an existing transmission line owned by Rocky Mountain 
Power; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation 
of the Glendale Conduit Project would be 2,526 megawatt-hours.

Irrigation Company, 33 South 1st East, Preston, ID 83263; phone: (208)
