Kings River Conservation District; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 29, 2014, the Kings River Conservation District
(applicant) filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Peoples Weir Hydroelectric Project at the Peoples
Weir on the Kings River, near the city of Kingsburg in King 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 applicant seeks to study one or more configurations for
installing generating facilities immediately below Peoples Weir that
would generate with streamflow that would normally pass over the dam.
Based upon preliminary studies, the site has the potential to generate
590 kilowatts with an annual energy output of 1.9 gigawatt-hours. The
project would likely connect to PG&E's transmission system located
about 1000 feet from the powerhouse site.
