 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 27, 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 Clear Creek Dam Hydropower Project 
(project) to be located on the North Fork Tieton River, near Naches, 
Yakima 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 the existing outlet works of the 
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Clear Creek Dam. The applicant proposes 
the following new facilities: (1) A powerhouse to be constructed on the 
downstream side of the dam below the outlet works of the U.S.G.S 
monitoring station that has been fitted to accommodate a turbine 
generating system; (2) two Francis turbine/generator units with a 
combined capacity of 920 kilowatts; (3) a tailrace discharge works 
consisting of an exhaust apron; (4) a 14.7-kilovolt, 3,500-foot-long 
transmission line from the powerhouse southwest to a proposed 
substation; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the project would be 3.9 gigawatt-hours.

Island, New York 10305; phone: (347) 415-9600.
