KC LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for 
Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

    On October 11, 2011, KC 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 Tinemaha Hydropower Project 
(project) to be located at Tinemaha dam and reservoir on the Owens 
River, three miles south of Big Pine in Inyo 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 proposed project would consist of (1) the existing Los Angeles 
Department of Water and Power Tinemaha reservoir earth fill dam; (2) 
the existing Tinemaha reservoir with a surface area of 2,098 acres and 
a storage capacity of 16,405 acre-feet at a normal surface elevation of 
3,871 feet msl; (3) a 200-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter steel penstock; 
(4) a

powerhouse with a 0.4 megawatt Kaplan generating unit, (5) a one-mile-
long, 25 kilovolt primary transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual 
production of 1.5 gigawatt-hours.
