[Project No. 14654-000]
Twain Resources, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On December 12, 2014, Twain Resources, 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 Tungstar Redux
Water Power Project (Tungstar Redux Project or project) to be located
at Pine Creek Mine and along Morgan and Pine Creek, near the City of
Bishop in Inyo County, California. 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) An intake
of an unspecified design collecting Pine Creek Mine discharge water
from its discharge point on Morgan Creek; (2) an 18-inch-diameter steel
penstock of unspecified length with a 450-foot vertical drop: (3) A
powerhouse: (4) a 600-kW impulse turbine connected to a 625-kVA
generator; (5) a transmission line; (6) a substation connecting to an
existing 56-kV main transmission line, and (7) appurtenant facilities.
The estimated annual generation of the Tungstar Redux Project would be
3,600 megawatt-hours.
