Amnor Hydro West Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On August 23, 2010, and supplemented on November 3, 2010, 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 Unity Dam Hydropower Project (project) to
be located at the Unity reservoir and dam in Hereford, Baker County,
Oregon. Unity reservoir and dam are owned and operated by the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and are currently used for
irrigation. 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 flows from the Unity reservoir
and would consist of the following: (1) A new 110-foot-long open
channel beginning near the left abutment of the dam and connecting with
three 63-inch-diameter butterfly valves; (2) three new 656-foot-long,
63-inch-diameter steel penstocks that connect to a new powerhouse; (3)
a new 30-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 30-foot-high powerhouse with three
Francis turbine/generating units for an installed capacity of 4
megawatts; (4) a new 98-foot-long tailrace; (5) a new 1,000-foot-long,
14.7-kilovolt transmission line extending from the powerhouse to a
proposed substation; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the project would be 17.5 gigawatt-hours.
