Clean River Power 15, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
November 16, 2010.
On October 22, 2010, Clean River Power 15, 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 Wailua River Hydroelectric Project (Wailua project) to be located in Kauai County, Hawaii. 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 consist of the following: (1) A 503-foot-long, 23-foot-high earth-filled, roller-compacted-concrete dam creating a 35-acre reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 430 acre-feet; (2) a 40-foot-wide, 20-foot-high intake structure constructed on the left side of the dam, with a trash rack, fish screens, and a closure gate; (3) a 4,800-foot-long, 7-foot-diameter steel penstock; (4) a 60-foot-long, 50-foot-wide powerhouse containing one 1.8-megawatt (MW) and one 4.8-MW Francis-type turbine; (5) a 50-foot-long, concrete and rip rap-lined tailrace channel to return flows from the powerhouse to the Wailua River; (6) a switchyard containing a three-phase step-up transformer; (7) an approximately 1.92-mile-long, 25-kilovolt transmission line extending from the switchyard to the Lydgate substation; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Wailua project would be 20.7 gigawatt-hours.
