Bureau of Reclamation’s Pinto dam, on
Billy Clapp Lake near the city of Moses
Lake in Grant 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 use the
existing Pinto dam, and would consist
of the following new facilities: (1) A 72inch-diameter penstock connecting the
existing Pinto dam outlet tunnel to a
powerhouse located immediately
downstream of the dam; (2) a
powerhouse containing a 3.4-megawatt
Francis turbine/generator unit; (3) a
tailrace discharging flows into the
existing feed route between Billy Clapp
Lake and Brook Lake; (4) a 7,000-footlong, 34.5-kilovolt (kV) transmission
line extending from the project to a
34.5-kV transmission line owned by the
Public Utility District No. 1 of Grant
County, Washington; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the Pinto Dam
Project would be 8.1 gigawatt-hours.
