[Project No. 14879-000]
Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications:
Go With the Flow Hydro Power, LLC
On June 8, 2018, Go With the Flow Hydro Power, LLC (Go With the
Flow) filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the Go With the Flow Hydroelectric Project (project) to
be located on the Umatilla River about 8.7 river miles upstream from
the confluence with the Columbia River, and 2.1 miles west southwest of
Hermiston in Umatilla county, Oregon. On July 11, 2018, the applicant
filed an amended permit application for the project. 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 will be at the site of the existing, abandoned
Jim Boyd Hydroelectric Project (P-7269). The license for the Jim Boyd
Project was terminated in 2011, and Go With the Flow has purchased
these facilities. The proposed run-of-river project will involve
rehabilitation and upgrade of the following existing facilities: A 3.5-
foot-high concrete diversion weir; a canal intake with trashracks and
fish screens; A 5,350-foot-long power canal; four 5-foot-diameter, 280-
foot-long steel penstocks; a powerhouse with 4 turbine/generators with
rated capacity of 300 kilowatts (kW) each for a total capacity of 1,200
kW; a 60-foot-wide, 20 foot-long concrete-lined tailrace; a 0.25-mile-
long, 12.47 kilovolt transmission line; and access roads.
The estimated averaged annual generation of the project would be 3
gigawatt-hours and would be conveyed from the powerhouse to the
existing Pacific Power and Light Company substation.
