Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the 
Idaho Irrigation District Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located 
on the Idaho Canal, a tributary of the Snake River, in Bonneville and 
Jefferson counties, Idaho. 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) An 
existing canal intake consisting of a 75-foot-wide trash rack structure 
and, about 50 feet downstream, a 10-foot-high, 71-foot-wide headgate 
structure; (2) the upper 3.2 miles of the existing Idaho Canal, whose 
embankment heights within that reach would be increased 1-3 feet to 
convey up to 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) of additional flows; (3) 
a new gate structure diverting flows to the powerhouse while allowing 
irrigation flows to continue down the canal; (4) a

new powerhouse, containing one 1.2-megawatt Kaplan turbine with a 
hydraulic capacity of 1,000 cfs and a generator, discharging flows into 
the Snake River; (5) a gated overflow spillway to pass flood flows 
around the powerhouse; (6) a 3,000-foot-long, 15-kilovolt transmission 
line extending to a distribution line owned by Rocky Mountain Power; 
(7) a switchyard; and (8) appurtenant facilities. Flow diversions for 
the project would take into account minimum flow requirements for the 
bypassed reach of the Snake River. The estimated annual generation of 
the project would be 7.5 gigawatt-hours.
