Howard A. Hanson Power, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 3, 2014, Howard A. Hanson Power, LLC, 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 Howard A. Hanson 
Hydroelectric Project (Hanson Project or project) to be located on 
Howard A. Hanson reservoir near Enumclaw in King County, Washington. 
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 earth and rockfill dam on the Howard A. Hanson reservoir 
having a total storage capacity of 136,700 acre-feet at a normal 
maximum operating elevation of 1,141 feet mean sea level; (2) four 150 
to 300-foot-long, 48-inch-diameter steel penstocks each housing an 
inline turbine/generation unit for a total capacity of 5 megawatts; (3) 
an overhead or buried 1-mile-long, 15-kilovolt transmission line 
extending from the project to an existing local utility's line (the 
point of interconnection); and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated annual generation of the Hanson Project would be 26 gigawatt-
hours.
