Public Utility No. 1 of Snohomish County, WA; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On January 4, 2011, the Public Utility No. 1 of Snohomish County,
Washington 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 Hancock Creek Hydroelectric Project (project) to be
located on Hancock Creek, near North Bend in King 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 consist of the following: (1) A 7-foot-
high, 62-foot-long diversion weir and intake structure; (2) an
impoundment having a total storage capacity of one acre-foot at a
normal maximum operating elevation of 2,171 feet mean sea level; (3) a
7,800-foot-long, 38-inch-diameter buried penstock; (4) a 2,600-square-
foot powerhouse containing a single turbine/generator unit with an
installed capacity of 6.0 megawatts; (5) a 125-foot-long, 10-foot-wide
rip-rap open channel tailrace; (6) a switchyard containing a 4.16/34.5
three-phase step-up transformer; (7) a 2,000-foot-long, 34.5 kilovolt
three-phase buried transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
The estimated annual generation of the project would be 21,857.7
megawatt-hours.
