[Project No. 13629-000]


Fred Coleman; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

January 22, 2010.
    On November 13, 2009, Fred Coleman filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Coleman Ranch Hydroelectric 
Project, which would be located on the Bird irrigation canal, a 
tributary of Little Timber Creek in Lemhi County, Idaho. 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: (1) A new 30-foot by 30-foot 
impoundment with a storage capacity of 0.1 acre-foot, located within or 
adjacent to the existing Bird irrigation canal; (2) a new intake 
structure with a fish screen; (3) one of three options for water 
conveyance: (a) Option 1, a new buried 24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 
23,000-foot-long plastic or steel pipeline; (b) Option 2, a new buried 
24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 25,300-foot-long plastic or steel 
pipeline; or (c) Option 3, a new 12,500-foot-long canal with a 3-foot-
wide bottom and a new buried 24-inch to 30-inch diameter, 18,800-foot-
long plastic or steel pipeline; (4) a new 20-foot by 20-foot powerhouse 
containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 800 
kilowatts, discharging into a new non-project concrete splitter box and 
thence into irrigation canals; and (5) a new 12.5-kilovolt, 4-mile-long 
transmission line connecting the project to an existing Idaho Power 
Company substation. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 3.325 gigawatt-hours.
