VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:13 Aug 16, 2011 Jkt 223001 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 landdisturbing 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 approximately 300-foot-long intake structure installed on the Potholes East Canal to divert flow from the canal to the turbines, which would be 100 feet wide at the intersection with the canal and would narrow to 50 feet wide before entering the powerhouse, and would include a 100-foot-wide, 15-foot-high intake grate and a 50-foot-wide, 15-foot-high trash rack; (2) an approximately 65-foot-long, 20-foot-wide powerhouse containing four low-head turbine/generator units rated for approximately 260 kilowatts each (total capacity of 1,050 kilowatts) at an average head of 11 feet; (3) a 600foot-long, 11-foot-high bypass weir, constructed in parallel to the west bank of the existing Potholes East Canal, to function as a project spillway; (4) a discharge canal returning flows from the powerhouse to the Potholes East Canal; (5) a 20-foot-long, 40-foot-wide substation at the powerhouse which will connect with the existing distribution line at the project site; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project will be located on federal lands, and would operate as run-of-release using irrigation flows provided by the Bureau of Reclamation and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District.
