Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications On February 11, 2013, the 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 Upper Alamo River Hydroelectric Project (Upper Alamo River Hydroelectric Project or project) to be located on the Alamo River, near the cities of Calipatria, Brawley, and Holtville in Imperial County, California. 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 six river drop developments. Each of the proposed in-stream installations would consist of the following: (1) a VLH 4000 turbo-generator; (2) a 10-by-10-foot electrical shack; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have a total installed capacity of 3 megawatts and generate an estimated average annual energy production of 21 gigawatt-hours.
