Kings River Conservation District; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On October 29, 2014, the Kings River Conservation District 
(applicant) filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the 
feasibility of the Peoples Weir Hydroelectric Project at the Peoples 
Weir on the Kings River, near the city of Kingsburg in King 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 applicant seeks to study one or more configurations for 
installing generating facilities immediately below Peoples Weir that 
would generate with streamflow that would normally pass over the dam. 
Based upon preliminary studies, the site has the potential to generate 
590 kilowatts with an annual energy output of 1.9 gigawatt-hours. The 
project would likely connect to PG&E's transmission system located 
about 1000 feet from the powerhouse site.
    Applicant Contact: David Orth, 4886 East Jensen Avenue, Fresno, CA 
93725, Telephone (559) 237-5567.
    FERC Contact: Jim Fargo; phone: (202) 502-6095.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file 
competing applications: 60 days from the issuance of this notice. 
Competing applications and notices of intent must meet the requirements 
of 18 CFR 4.36.
