On December 3, 2012, Juneau
Hydropower, Inc., filed an application
for a successive preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the Sweetheart Lake
Project located on Lower Sweetheart
Lake and Sweetheart Creek in Juneau,
Alaska. 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 facilities: (1) A new 275foot-long, 105-foot-high concrete and
rock face dam, including project intake
facilities and a 125-foot-wide overflow
spillway, constructed at the natural
outlet of Lower Sweetheart Lake; (2) the
existing Lower Sweetheart Lake, raised
to a surface elevation of 628 feet above
mean sea level, with a surface area of
1,701.5 acres and an active storage
capacity of 94,069 acre-feet at the
normal maximum water elevation; (3) a

new 500-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter
stream diversion tunnel that would be
converted to reservoir outlet works after
project construction; (4) a new 9,595foot-long, 12-foot-diameter penstock
diverting flow from the project intake to
the powerhouse; (5) a new powerhouse
containing three new 6.6-megawatt
(MW), Francis generating units having a
total installed capacity of 19.8 MW; (6)
a tailrace consisting of a new 76-footwide to 22-foot-wide, 75-foot-long open
afterbay; a new 225-foot-long, 12-footdiameter tunnel extending from the
afterbay to an outlet structure on a
tributary to Sweetheart Creek; and an
existing tributary stream channel,
modified to a 100-foot-long, 35-footwide channel that will flow into
Sweetheart Creek; (7) new marine access
facilities, including a dual-height
marine ramp, floating docks for
seaplane and boat access, and a staging
area adjacent to the docks; (8) a new
switchyard adjacent to the powerhouse;
(9) a new 8.69-mile-long, 138-kilovolt
transmission line, consisting of buried,
submarine, and overhead segments; (10)
a new 4,400-foot-long access road; and
(11) appurtenant facilities. The
proposed Sweetheart Lake Project
would have an average annual
generation of 111 gigawatt-hours.
