Chugach Electric Association, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On December 23, 2016, Chugach Electric Association, Inc. filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the

[[Page 8417]]

feasibility of the Snow River Hydroelectric Project (Snow River Project 
or project) to be located on the Snow River, near Seward in the Kenai 
Peninsula 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 would utilize 15,957 acres of 
land owned by the U.S. Forest Service.
    The project consists of two alternatives both using the following 
new facilities: (1) A 700-foot-long, 300-foot-high concrete-faced 
rockfill or roller compacted concrete gravity dam with a 400-foot-long 
spillway built into the crest of the dam; (2) a 300-foot-long, 60-foot-
high concrete-faced rockfill or roller compacted concrete gravity 
auxiliary dam on the right bank; (3) a 500-foot-long, 80-foot-high 
concrete-faced rockfill or roller compacted concrete gravity auxiliary 
dam on the left bank; and (4) a 5,321-acre reservoir.

Alternative 1

    (1) A 10,040-foot-long, 14 foot-diameter horseshoe intake tunnel; 
(2) a 1,140-foot long, 173-inch-diameter steel penstock; (3) an 80-
foot-long, 100-foot-wide pre-engineered metal powerhouse with three 
turbine units rated at 25 megawatts (MW) each for 75 MW total; (4) a 
submerged tailrace discharge; (5) a 2.55-mile-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line tying into an existing high voltage transmission line 
located west of the proposed powerhouse; (6) a 1,410-foot-long access 
road to the intake tunnel and dam; (7) a 6,858-foot-long access road to 
the powerhouse; and (8) appurtenant facilities.

Alternative 2

    (1) A 3,310-foot-long, 14 foot-diameter horseshoe intake tunnel; 
(2) a 2,650-foot long, 173-inch-diamater steel penstock; (3) the same 
powerhouse, turbine, tailrace and transmission line as described above 
for Alternative 1; (4) a 12,600-foot-long access road to the intake 
tunnel and dam; (5) a 8,000-foot-long access road to the powerhouse; 
and (6) appurtenant facilities.
    The estimated annual generation of the Snow River Project would be 
341 gigawatt-hours.
