 Amnor Hydro West Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 24, 2011, and supplemented on April 25, 2011, May 3, 
2011, and July 6, 2011, Amnor Hydro West Inc. 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 Horn Rapids Dam 
Hydropower Project (Horn Rapids Project or project). The proposed 
project is located on the Yakima River, near Richland, Benton 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 utilize an U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers dam on the Yakima reservoir.
    The proposed project would utilize the existing dam and outlet 
works. The applicant proposes the following new structures: (1) Two 
intake conduits connecting to a new powerhouse near the left end of the 
dam; (2) two axial turbine/generator units with a combined capacity of 
1.4 megawatts; (3) a tailrace discharge works returning flows to the 
Yakima River; (4) a 14.7-kilovolt, 3,000-foot-long transmission line 
extending from the powerhouse south to a proposed substation; and (5) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the project 
would be 6.5 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Adam T. Supronik, 42 Pearsall Street, Staten 
Island, New York 10305; phone: (347) 415-9600.
