Archon Energy 1, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 18, 2012, Archon Energy 1, Inc. (Archon or applicant), 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 DaGuerre Point Dam Hydropower Project (DaGuerre Point Dam Project or project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) DaGuerre Point Dam, on the Yuba River, near the City of Marysville, Yuba 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 proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A diversion structure and intake canal; (2) a powerhouse containing eight 375 kW Archimedean screw turbine/generating units with a total capacity of 3 megawatts; (3) a tailrace channel; and (4) a 3,500-foot-long, 12-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 21,000 megawatt-hours.
