Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
October 20, 2010.
On November 9, 2009, Bishop
Tungsten Development, 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 Pine Creek Mine Water
Discharge System Site 3 Project to be
located near the town of Bishop, in Inyo
County, California. 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.
An existing network of penstocks
collect and convey the existing Pine
Creek Mine discharge water above the
project area. The mine discharge
averages up to 14 cfs. The proposed
project would utilize a single,
approximately 20-inch-in-diameter
conduit within the project area that
would convey the discharge water to the
turbine where the pressure would be
reduced. The applicant proposes to
interconnect with an existing 56kilovolt transmission line, maintained
by Southern California Edison, which
runs the length of the canyon. The
estimated annual generation of the
project would be 6,850,000 kilowatthours.

2010, ORPC Alaska 2, 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 East Foreland Tidal
Energy Project (East Foreland project) to
be located in Cook Inlet in the vicinity
of Nikiski, Alaska, in the Municipality
of Anchorage and Matanuksa-Susitna
Borough, Alaska. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a

PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
OCGen turbine-generator modules with
a combined capacity between 5
megawatts (MW) and 100 MW; (2) a 1to 8-mile-long, 13.5-kilovolt (kV) direct
current underwater transmission cable
from the module site to a shore station

current terrestrial transmission line
connecting the shore station to a
