[Project No. 15275-000]
Joe Stephens; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing
Applications
On May 31, 2022, Mr. Joe Stephens 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 Joe Stephens Small
Hydroelectric Power #1 (Small Hydroelectric Power #1 or project) to be
located on the east coast of Baranof Island, near Sitka, 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 proposed project would consist of the following: (1) a lake
with a surface area of 148 acres, having a total storage capacity of
45,000,000 cubic-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 460
feet above mean sea level (msl); (2) an intake structure at a set
distance below the lake level that will limit the amount of potential
draw down; (3) an approximately 1,000 foot penstock (engineering
specifications still to be determined); (4) a power house; (5) a single
500-kW turbine; (6) an approximately 100 foot tailrace conduit
connecting the turbine outlet with Nelson Bay; (7) a charging station
that will supply power to floating vessels in the vicinity of the
project; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
The estimated annual generation of the Project would be 4,104 MW-
hr.
