k. This application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis.
l. Project Description: The proposed
project would utilize water diverted
from the Snake River at an existing
diversion dam located 10 miles
upstream of Idaho Falls. Currently the
diversion dam diverts irrigation water
for agricultural purposes into the
existing Idaho Canal on the east side of
the river and Great Western Canal on
the west side of the river. Under the
proposed project, the Districts would
enlarge the canals by raising the banks
of each by an additional 1 to 3 feet to
increase their capacity and then divert
up to 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)
of additional flow into each canal for
power generation. On the east side of
the Snake River, flows for power
generation would be diverted into the
Idaho Canal and conveyed about 3.1
miles to a new East Side Powerhouse
and then discharged back to the Snake
River. On the west side of the Snake
River, flows for power generation would
be diverted into the Great Western Canal
and conveyed about 3.5 miles to a new
West Side Powerhouse and then
discharged back to the Snake River. The
Districts propose to maintain a 1,000-cfs
minimum flow in the 3.5-mile-long
segment of the Snake River bypassed by
the project whenever the project is
operating. The total capacity of both
powerhouses would be 2.5 megawatts
(MW), with a 1.2–MW capacity for the
single Kaplan turbine in the East Side
Powerhouse and a 1.3–MW capacity for
the single Kaplan turbine in the West
Side Powerhouse. The average annual
generation is expected to be 18.3
gigawatt-hours. The project would also
include two new 12.5-kilovolt
transmission lines, extending 2,500 feet
and 400 feet from the East Side and
West Side Powerhouses, respectively, to
the interconnection points with the
existing electrical distribution system.
m. The Commission provides all
interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the application via
the internet through the Commission’s
Home Page (https://www.ferc.gov/), using
the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits
in the docket number field, to access the
document. At this time, the Commission
has suspended access to the
