FFP Qualified Hydro 24, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On September 28, 2010, FFP
Qualified Hydro 24, 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 Cle Elum Dam
Hydroelectric Project (project) to be
located at the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation’s Cle Elum dam on the Cle
Elum River, near Cle Elum in Kittitas
County, 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 project would utilize
the Cle Elum dam and would consist of
the following: (1) A new 1,000-foot-long,
12-foot-wide steel liner penstock; (2) a
new 70-foot-long, 100-foot-wide
reinforced concrete powerhouse with
turbine/generating units with an
installed capacity of 18 megawatts; (3) a
new 15-megawatt substation adjacent to
the powerhouse; (4) a new 0.75-milelong, 34.5-kilovolt overhead
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the project would be 40
gigawatt-hours.

Scoping Meetings and Environmental Site Review
Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings in the vicinity of
the project at the time and place noted below. The daytime meeting will
focus on resource agency, Indian tribes, and non-governmental
organization concerns, while the evening meeting is primarily for
receiving input from the public. We invite all interested individuals,
organizations, and agencies to attend one or both of the meetings, and
to assist staff in identifying particular study needs, as well as the
scope of environmental issues to be addressed in the environmental
document. The times and locations of these meetings are as follows:

Modesto Irrigation District mailing lists. Copies of SD1 will be
available at the scoping meetings, or may be viewed on the web at
https://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary'' link. Follow the directions
for accessing information in paragraph n. Based on all oral and written

Meeting Objectives
At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the
issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource
management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or
Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of an
environmental document.
Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PAD in preparation for the scoping
meetings. Directions on how to obtain a copy of the PAD and SD1 are
included in item n. of this document.
