On January 4, 2010, and revised March 4, 2010 and March 30, 2010, Twin Valleys Public Power District filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Medicine Creek Dam Hydroelectric Project located on the Medicine Creek in Frontier County, Nebraska. The Medicine Creek dam is owned and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation). 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 100-foot-long, 6foot-diameter steel penstock directing flows from the existing low-level outlets of Medicine Creek Dam; (2) a powerhouse containing one Kaplan generating unit having an installed capacity of 800 kilowatts, discharging flows into Medicine Creek; (3) 2-milelong, 12.5-kilovolt transmission line connecting to an existing transmission VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:37 Apr 05, 2010 Jkt 220001 line owned and operated by Twin Valleys Public Power District; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 2.0 gigawatt-hours. Since the dam is operated primarily for irrigation and flood control by Reclamation, the project would operate seasonally using seasonal flows released for irrigation, as well as spring runoffs. The project will be located on 18.3 acres of federal land managed by the Reclamation. Applicant Contact: James P. Dietz, General Manager, Twin Valleys Public Power District, P.O.
