Yedatene Na, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On November 6, 2014, Yedatene Na, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA),
[[Page 73066]]
proposing to study the feasibility of the Jack River Dam Hydroelectric
Project (Jack River Project or project) to be located on the Jack
River, near Cantwell in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska. 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 project
reservoir utilizes 286 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land
Management.
The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 750-
foot-long, 250-foot-high dam on the Jack River with a 250-foot-high
spillway built into the crest of the dam; (2) an 865-acre reservoir
with a storage capacity of 50,700-acre-feet; (3) two 300-foot-long, 4-
foot-diameter steel penstocks; (4) a 75-foot long, 125-foot-wide
powerhouse with two Francis turbine units rated for 2.1 megawatts (MW)
each or 4.2 MW total at 250 feet of net head; (5) a 20-foot-wide, 20-
foot-deep, 25-foot-long concrete tailrace emptying into the Jack River;
(6) an 8,000-foot-long, 15-kilovolt transmission line tying into the
existing substation northwest of the project; and (7) appurtenant
facilities.
The estimated annual generation of the Jack River Project would be
23.4 gigawatt-hours.
