BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 14481-000] Archon Energy 1, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications On January 15, 2013, Archon Energy 1, Inc. filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Palo Verde Diversion Dam Hydroelectric Project (Palo Verde Diversion Dam Project or project) to be located on the Colorado River, near the city of Mayflower, Riverside County, California.
The project would be located on a small portion of Bureau of Land Management lands. 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:
(1)A gated water intake canal adjacent to the existing dam;
(2)fish screens;
(3)a 200-foot by 50-foot by 70-foot turbine structure enclosing four Kaplan turbine generators; and
(4)appurtenant facilities. The project would require interconnection to a Southern California Edison transmission line located approximately one mile west of the Palo Verde Dam. An interconnection study would be required to determine the exact transmission that would be used. The proposed project would have a total installed capacity of 20 megawatts and generate an estimated average annual energy production of 145 gigawatt-hours. *Applicant Contact:* Mr. Paul Grist, Archon Energy 1, Inc., 101 E.
