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

    On February 16, 2016, Rivertec Partners, 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 Sherman 
Hydroelectric Project (Sherman Project or project) to be located at the 
John Day Dam Juvenile Fish Sampling and Monitoring Facility (Juvenile 
Fish Facility) on the Columbia River near the City of Rufus in Sherman 
County, Oregon. 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 flows at the existing Juvenile 
Fish Facility, and would consist of the following new features: (1) A 
7-foot-diameter, 55-foot-long steel penstock connecting with the 
Juvenile Fish Facility's existing screened excess water pipe; (2) a 
71.2-foot-long, 26.2-foot-wide, 16.4-foot-high concrete and steel 
powerhouse; (3) a 4.2-megawatt turbine generator; (4) a 10.6-foot-
diameter, 31.8-foot-long steel draft tube returning flows to the 
Columbia River; (5) either a 1,400-foot-long, 13.8-kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line interconnecting with the existing John Day Dam 
transformer, or an approximately 120-foot-long, 4.16-kV or 13.8-kV 
transmission line interconnecting with the existing Bonneville Power 
Administration substation; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated annual generation of the Sherman Project would be 33 
gigawatt-hours.
