DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14064-000]

 Amnor Hydro West Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On January 24, 2011, and supplemented on April 25, 2011, May 3,
2011, and July 6, 2011, Amnor Hydro West Inc. 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 Horn Rapids Dam
Hydropower Project (Horn Rapids Project or project). The proposed
project is located on the Yakima River, near Richland, Benton County,
Washington. 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 utilize an U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers dam on the Yakima reservoir.
    The proposed project would utilize the existing dam and outlet
works. The applicant proposes the following new structures: (1) Two
intake conduits connecting to a new powerhouse near the left end of the
dam; (2) two axial turbine/generator units with a combined capacity of
1.4 megawatts; (3) a tailrace discharge works returning flows to the
Yakima River; (4) a 14.7-kilovolt, 3,000-foot-long transmission line
extending from the powerhouse south to a proposed substation; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the project
would be 6.5 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Adam T. Supronik, 42 Pearsall Street, Staten
Island, New York 10305; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    FERC Contact: Patrick Murphy; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    l. The Project Description: The existing project includes the
following facilities: (1) A 210-foot-high, 1,458-foot-long concrete-
faced rockfill Upper Dam across Cabin Creek; (2) a 25.4 acre upper
reservoir with 1,087 acre-feet of usable storage between the maximum
operating elevation of 11,196 feet mean sea level (msl) and the minimum
operating elevation of 11,140 feet msl; (3) a 95-foot-high, 1,195-foot-
long earthfill and rockfill Lower Dam across South Clear Creek; (4) a
44.8-acre lower reservoir with 1,221 acre-feet of usable storage
between the maximum operating elevation of 10,002 feet msl and 9,975
feet msl; (5) a 145-foot-long auxiliary spillway constructed in the
embankment of the lower reservoir with a crest elevation of 10,013
feet; (6) an intake structure located near the bottom of the upper
reservoir; (7) a 12 to 15-foot-diameter, 4,143-foot-long power tunnel;
(8) two 75-foot-long, 8.5-foot-diameter penstocks directing flow from
the power tunnel to the powerhouse turbines; (9) a powerhouse installed
at the lower reservoir containing two reversible turbine-generator
units rated at 150 megawatts (nameplate capacity) each; (10) a
switchyard located next to the powerhouse; (11) three miles of gravel
access roads; and (12) appurtenant facilities.
    Cabin Creek is a pumped storage project. The normal daily operation
cycle involves pumping water from the lower reservoir to the upper
reservoir during off-peak periods of energy demand and generating
electricity with water released from the upper reservoir during the
high energy demand part of the day. Under the current license, the
applicant is required to provide a continuous release from the lower
reservoir of three cubic feet per second or inflow, whichever is less,
to South Clear Creek.
    The applicant proposes the following changes to the project: (1)
Upgrade the pump-generation equipment; (2) raise the usable storage
capacity of the upper reservoir 75 acre-feet by raising the height of
the dam 4.5 feet; and (3) increase the project boundary by 59 acres.
