Yedatene Na, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On November 6, 2014, Yedatene Na, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA),

[[Page 73066]]

proposing to study the feasibility of the Jack River Dam Hydroelectric 
Project (Jack River Project or project) to be located on the Jack 
River, near Cantwell in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska. 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 project 
reservoir utilizes 286 acres of land owned by the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 750-
foot-long, 250-foot-high dam on the Jack River with a 250-foot-high 
spillway built into the crest of the dam; (2) an 865-acre reservoir 
with a storage capacity of 50,700-acre-feet; (3) two 300-foot-long, 4-
foot-diameter steel penstocks; (4) a 75-foot long, 125-foot-wide 
powerhouse with two Francis turbine units rated for 2.1 megawatts (MW) 
each or 4.2 MW total at 250 feet of net head; (5) a 20-foot-wide, 20-
foot-deep, 25-foot-long concrete tailrace emptying into the Jack River; 
(6) an 8,000-foot-long, 15-kilovolt transmission line tying into the 
existing substation northwest of the project; and (7) appurtenant 
facilities.
    The estimated annual generation of the Jack River Project would be 
23.4 gigawatt-hours.
