Green Hydropower Inc.; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
August 25, 2009.
On July 7, 2009,1 Green Hydropower
Inc. filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 2 to
study the feasibility of the proposed 2megawatt (MW) Green Hydropower
Rocky Reach Project No. 13534. The
project would be located in Douglas and
Chelan Counties, 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 Green Hydropower
Rocky Reach Project is an in-river
development that would be located
0.25-miles downstream of the Rocky
Reach Dam (FERC Project No. 2145) on
the Columbia River. The project would
consist of: (1) Multiple 10-foot-diameter
to 40-foot-diameter sea anchors (pieces
of high-strength synthetic material that
inflate to roughly the shape of a
parachute in the presence of an
underwater current); (2) an up to 1.25mile-long synthetic rope; (3) an electricdriven traction winch or an electricdriven capstan; (4) a generator attached
to the winch or capstan; (5) a floating
vessel, such as a boat; (6) a new
approximately 480-volt, 500-foot-long
transmission line; and (7) appurtenant
facilities. The sea anchors would be
attached to a rope that is connected to
the winch or capstan. The winch or
capstan would be mounted on shore or
on a floating vessel. The sea anchors
would be pulled downstream by the
existing current, pulling the rope
through a winch or capstan, which will
turn the generator. The project would
have an estimated annual generation of
between 8,750-megawatt hours (MWh)
and 17,500 MWhs per year.
