Whitewater Green Energy, LLC; Notice of Successive Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On January 22, 2016, the Whitewater Green Energy, LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit under section 4(f) of the Federal 
Power Act proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Whitewater 
Hydroelectric Project No. 14383-006, to be located on Russel and 
Whitewater Creeks, near the town of Idanha, in Marion and Linn 
Counties, Oregon. The project would be located entirely on U.S. Forest 
Service lands.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 9.5-
foot-high, 40-foot-wide weir on Russell Creek; (2) a 19,500-foot-long, 
60-inch-diameter steel penstock; (3) a 50-foot-long by 40-foot-wide 
concrete powerhouse containing one pelton turbine rated at 11 
megawatts; (4) a 160-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter tailrace discharging 
into Whitewater Creek; (5) an underground 2.25-mile-long, 12,000 
kilovolt-amperes transmission line extending from the project to an 
outside transmission line (the point of interconnection); (6) an access 
road along side of the penstock; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated annual generation of the Whitewater Creek Project would be 
95.04 gigawatt-hours.
