Kahawai Power 2, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

November 29, 2010.
    On November 15, 2010, Kahawai Power 2, LLC filed an application for 
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Makaweli River Water 
Power Project, located in Kauai County, in the state of 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 would consist of the following developments:
    (1) A proposed 6-foot-high and 40-foot-long reinforced concrete 
weir and intake structure on the Kahana stream that will maintain a 
normal surface elevation of 2,200 feet msl; (2) a proposed 8-foot-high 
and 40-foot-long reinforced concrete weir and intake structure on the 
Mokuone stream that will maintain a normal surface elevation of 2,200 
feet msl; (3) a new 31,000-foot-long, steel penstock; (4) a proposed 
1.500-foot-long, 48-inch diameter, underground tunnel to convey water 
from the Mokuone Diversion to the Mokuone Feeder Penstock; (5) a new 
1,750-foot-long, 36-inch diameter steel feeder penstock to collect 
additional flows from the Mokuone Diversion; (6) a proposed 70-foot-
long, 40-foot-wide, reinforced concrete powerhouse; (7) a proposed 90-
foot-long, 15-foot-wide tailrace; (8) an anticipated proposed 
transmission line approximately 4.25 miles in length and a voltage of 
69kV; (9) a new gravel roadway approximately 1 mile in length; (10) a 
proposed average annual generation of 23,900 megawatt-hours.
