BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 13629-000] Fred Coleman; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications January 22, 2010. On November 13, 2009, Fred Coleman filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Coleman Ranch Hydroelectric Project, which would be located on the Bird irrigation canal, a tributary of Little Timber Creek in Lemhi County, Idaho.
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:
(1)A new 30-foot by 30-foot impoundment with a storage capacity of 0.1 acre-foot, located within or adjacent to the existing Bird irrigation canal;
(2)a new intake structure with a fish screen;
(3)one of three options for water conveyance:
(a)Option 1, a new buried 24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 23,000-foot-long plastic or steel pipeline;
(b)Option 2, a new buried 24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 25,300-foot-long plastic or steel pipeline; or
(c)Option 3, a new 12,500-foot-long canal with a 3-foot-wide bottom and a new buried 24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 18,800-foot-long plastic or steel pipeline;
(4)a new 20-foot by 20-foot powerhouse containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 800 kilowatts, discharging into a new non-project concrete splitter box and thence into irrigation canals; and
(5)a new 12.5-kilovolt, 4-mile-long transmission line connecting the project to an existing Idaho Power Company substation. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 3.325 gigawatt-hours. *Applicant Contact:* Nicholas E. Josten, 2742 Saint Charles Avenue, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83404; phone:
