CC Energy, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
For Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

    On November 7, 2014, CC Energy, 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 Carlo Creek 
Hydroelectric Project (Carlo

[[Page 76324]]

Creek Project or project) to be located on Carlo Creek, in 
unincorporated Denali 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 proposed project would consist of the following new features: 
(1) A 50-foot-long, 10-foot-high diversion weir traversing Carlo Creek; 
(2) an approximately 10-acre-foot impoundment; (3) a 10,500-foot-long, 
2.5-foot-diameter steel penstock; (4) a 25-foot-long, 35-foot-wide 
concrete powerhouse; (5) a single 1.6-megawatt Pelton turbine/
generator; (6) a 1,500-foot-long, 15-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 
interconnecting with an existing 15-kV Golden Valley Electric 
Association distribution line; (7) an approximately 12,000-foot-long 
access road; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Carlo Creek Project would be 6.3 gigawatt-hours.
