Las Vegas Wash Hydro LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On November 16, 2012, Las Vegas Wash Hydro LLC, 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 Las
Vegas Wash Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the Las
Vegas Wash, in Clark County, Nevada. 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 an existing concrete
diversion/inlet structure for the Las Vegas Wash that passes beneath
Lake Las Vegas via two 84-inch-diameter penstocks for a distance of
10,208 feet. Las Vegas Wash Hydro LLC proposes to tie into the existing
penstocks and construct a new powerhouse. One of the two existing 84-
inch diameter penstocks would be
[[Page 32645]]
utilized for bypass flows. The powerhouse would be equipped with a
single 2.1-megawatt Francis turbine. The project would also consist of
a switchyard and 900 feet of proposed 15-kilovolt transmission line
that would interconnect into the utility distribution system owned by
NV Energy. The project would generate an estimated 16.5 gigawatt-hours
annually.
