Thermalito Afterbay Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to
Intervene, and Competing Applications
June 16, 2010.
On May 21, 2010, Thermalito Afterbay Hydro, LLC filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Thermalito
Afterbay Small Hydroelectric Project, located at the California
Department of Resources' Thermalito afterbay dam on the Feather River,
in Butte 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 the following:
(1) A total of 5 to 6 generation sets installed at Thermalito
afterbay dam and Thermalito afterbay outlet, with a total capacity of
about 10 megawatts; (2) a switchyard and about 5 miles of 69 kilovolt
(kV) transmission line to connect to PG&E's existing 69-kV transmission
line at Thermalito pumping-generating plant; (3) a maintenance crane
installed on top of each dam; and (4) a control station within 300 feet
of the Thermalito afterbay dam. The proposed project would have a total
average annual generation of 57 gigawatt-hours.
