FFP Qualified Hydro 24, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On September 28, 2010, FFP Qualified Hydro 24, 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 Cle
Elum Dam Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located at the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation's Cle Elum dam on the Cle Elum River, near Cle
Elum in Kittitas 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 utilize the Cle Elum dam and would
consist of the following: (1) A new 1,000-foot-long, 12-foot-wide steel
liner penstock; (2) a new 70-foot-long, 100-foot-wide reinforced
concrete powerhouse with turbine/generating units with an installed
capacity of 18 megawatts; (3) a new 15-megawatt substation adjacent to
the powerhouse; (4) a new 0.75-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt overhead
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the project would be 40 gigawatt-hours.
