agencies, and other entities within the
United States. LDES has requested an
electricity export authorization with a 5year term.
The construction, operation,
maintenance, and connection of each of
the international transmission facilities
to be utilized by LDES has previously

issued pursuant to Executive Order
10485, as amended.

KW Sackheim Development; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
August 14, 2009.
On May 12, 2008, KW Sackheim
Development filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing
to study the feasibility of the Jackson
Meadows Dam Project, located on the
Middle Yuba River, in Nevada County,
California. The proposed site is a nongenerating feature of the Nevada
Irrigation District’s Yuba-Bear Project,
FERC No. P–2266. 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.
Jackson Meadows Development
The proposed project would consist of
the following:
(1) An existing 1,530 foot-long,
195foot-high embankment dam; (2) an
existing reservoir having a surface area
of 738 acres and a storage capacity of
52,500 acre-feet; (3) one penstock
consisting of an existing 42-inchdiameter pipe, 240 feet in length; (4) a
new powerhouse containing one new
generating unit having an installed
capacity of 2.5 megawatts; and (5) a
proposed 8,000-foot-long, 60-kva power
transmission line. The proposed Jackson
Meadows Development would have an
average annual generation of 8.7
gigawatt-hours.
