On February 9, 2010, and supplemented on July 16, 2010, Coastal Hydropower, 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 Winchester Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be located at the Winchester dam on the North Umpqua River, in Douglas County, Oregon.

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) Five new submersible Kaplan turbine/generator units with a total installed capacity of 2.5 megawatts, to be installed replacing sections of the existing dam; (2) a new control house building; and (3) a new approximately 100-foot-long, 20-kilovolt transmission line interconnecting to an existing substation. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 13 gigawatt-hours.
