feasibility of the Snow River
Hydroelectric Project (Snow River
Project or project) to be located on the
Snow River, near Seward in the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, 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 project
would utilize 15,957 acres of land
owned by the U.S. Forest Service.
The project consists of two
alternatives both using the following
new facilities: (1) A 700-foot-long, 300foot-high concrete-faced rockfill or
roller compacted concrete gravity dam
with a 400-foot-long spillway built into
the crest of the dam; (2) a 300-foot-long,
60-foot-high concrete-faced rockfill or
roller compacted concrete gravity
auxiliary dam on the right bank; (3) a
500-foot-long, 80-foot-high concretefaced rockfill or roller compacted
concrete gravity auxiliary dam on the
left bank; and (4) a 5,321-acre reservoir.
Alternative 1
(1) A 10,040-foot-long, 14 footdiameter horseshoe intake tunnel; (2) a
1,140-foot long, 173-inch-diameter steel
penstock; (3) an 80-foot-long, 100-footwide pre-engineered metal powerhouse
with three turbine units rated at 25
megawatts (MW) each for 75 MW total;
(4) a submerged tailrace discharge; (5) a
2.55-mile-long, 69-kilovolt (kV)
transmission line tying into an existing
high voltage transmission line located
west of the proposed powerhouse; (6) a
1,410-foot-long access road to the intake
tunnel and dam; (7) a 6,858-foot-long
access road to the powerhouse; and (8)
appurtenant facilities.

Alternative 2
(1) A 3,310-foot-long, 14 foot-diameter
horseshoe intake tunnel; (2) a 2,650-foot
long, 173-inch-diamater steel penstock;
(3) the same powerhouse, turbine,
tailrace and transmission line as
described above for Alternative 1; (4) a
12,600-foot-long access road to the
intake tunnel and dam; (5) a 8,000-footlong access road to the powerhouse; and
(6) appurtenant facilities.
The estimated annual generation of
the Snow River Project would be 341
gigawatt-hours.
