Clean River Power 13, LLC; Project No. 13864-000; Notice of 
Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

 November 9, 2010.
    On October 15, 2010, Clean River Power 13, 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 Barclay Creek 
Hydroelectric Project (Barclay Creek project) to be located on Barclay 
Creek in the vicinity of Baring, in Snohomish 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 will consist of the following: (1) A 6-foot-
high, 60-foot-long reinforced concrete diversion weir; (2) a 15-foot-
wide, 45-foot-long, 12-foot-high reinforced concrete intake structure 
with a trash rack, fish screen, and closure gate; (3) a 11,000-foot-
long, 40-inch-diameter steel penstock; (4) a 50-foot by 40-foot 
reinforced concrete powerhouse containing one vertical impulse turbine 
with a capacity of 6.8 megawatts (MW); (5) a 7.2/115 kilovolt (kV) 
three stage step up transformer; (6) an approximately 1,500-foot-long, 
115 kV transmission line which will tie into an undetermined 
interconnection; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Barclay Creek project would be 22.0 gigawatt-hours.
