[Project No. 14443-000]
Consolidated Irrigation Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 30, 2011, the Consolidated Irrigation Company of Preston,
Idaho, 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 Consolidated Irrigation Glendale Conduit Hydro
Project (Glendale Conduit Project or project) to be located on Mink and
Cub Creeks, near Preston, in Franklin County, Idaho. The project would
not occupy any Federal 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) An
existing screened intake on Mink Creek; (2) an existing screened intake
on Cub Creek; (3) a new pipeline and penstock consisting of 8,520 feet
of 24-inch-diameter, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, 4,340 feet
of 30-inch-diameter HDPE pipe, and 4,060 feet of 36-inch-diameter HDPE
pipe; (4) a powerhouse containing a 500-kilowatt turbine-generator; (5)
a 1,700-foot-long, underground 12-kilovolt transmission cable
connecting to an existing transmission line owned by Rocky Mountain
Power; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation
of the Glendale Conduit Project would be 2,526 megawatt-hours.
