Public Utility No. 1 of Snohomish County; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

January 14, 2011.
    On December 20, 2010, the Public Utility No. 1 of Snohomish County, 
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 Calligan Creek Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on 
Calligan Creek, near North Bend in King 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 consist of the following: (1) A 8-foot-
high, 60-foot-long diversion weir and intake structure; (2) an 
impoundment having a total storage capacity of one acre-foot at a 
normal maximum operating elevation of 2,221 feet mean sea level; (3) a 
6,288-foot-long, 38-inch-diameter buried pressure penstock; (4) a 
2,600-square-foot powerhouse containing a single turbine/generator unit 
with an installed capacity of 6.0 megawatts; (5) a 148-foot-long, 10-
foot-wide rip-rap open channel tailrace; (6) a switchyard containing a 
4.16/34.5 three-phase step-up transformer; (7) a 13,200-foot-long, 34.5 
kilovolt three-phase buried transmission line and (8) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 
20,717.8 megawatt-hours.
