NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY PERMIT APPLICATION ACCEPTED FOR FILING AND SOLICITING COMMENTS, MOTIONS TO INTERVENE, AND COMPETING APPLICATIONS

(December 23, 2011)

On October 13, 2011, and supplemented on October 30, 2011, Earth By Design, Inc. 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 NUMC-A Hydroelectric Power Project (project) to be located on the North Unit Main Canal of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Deschutes (Irrigation) Project near Madras in Jefferson 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 consist of the following: (1) a 4-foot-high, 40-foot-long concrete intake structure; (2) a 1210-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter penstock consisting of a 365-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter underground weholite pipe and an 845-foot-long, 72-inch-diameter underground steel pipe; (3) two Kaplan turbines totaling 2.03 megawatts; (4) a 10-foot-long, 14-foot-wide concrete powerhouse; (5) two siphon tubes directing flows back into the canal; (6) a 0.5-mile-long, 12.5-kilovolt (kV) transmission line which will interconnect with an existing overhead 69-kV transmission line. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 7.2 gigawatt-hours.

Applicant Contact: Mr. Jim Gordon, President, Earth By Design, Inc., 20407 Cady Lane Bldg. A, Bend, Oregon 97701; phone: (541) 385-1135.
