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

    On January 13, 2014, Warm Spring Hydro 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 Unity Dam 
Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the Burnt River near 
Unity in Baker County, Illinois. 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 be located at the U. S. Bureau of 
Reclamation's Unity Dam and would consist of the following new 
facilities: (1) A bifurcation at the end of the existing discharge 
pipe; (2) a 130-foot-long, 4-foot-diameter steel penstock; (3) a 
powerhouse containing two Francis turbine/generator units with a 
combined rated capacity of 800 kilowatts at 100 feet of design head; 
(4) a 500-foot-long, 12.5-kilovolt transmission line extending from the 
powerhouse to an existing transmission line (the point of 
interconnection); and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the project would be 3,400 megawatt-hours.

Avenue, Idaho Falls, ID 83404; phone: (208) 522-8069.
