Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications;
Municipality of Skagway Borough
On November 13, 2024, the Municipality of Skagway Borough 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
Burro Creek Hydroelectric Project (or Project) to be located on Burro
Creek, two miles southwest of Skagway, 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 100-
foot-long, 10 foot-high reinforced concrete diversion dam; (2) a 0.5-
acre impoundment with a normal surface elevation of approximately 1,160
feet above sea level; (3) a 12,300-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter penstock
buried within an access road; (4) a 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide
powerhouse; (5) a 13,300-foot-long access road extending from the dam
to tidewater at Burro Creek; (6) a 1,000-
[[Page 94729]]
foot-long underground transmission line from powerhouse to tidewater;
(7) a 2-mile-long submarine cable laid on the floor of Lynn Canal
extending from tidewater to the Ore dock facility in Skagway; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Project
would be 24,800 megawatt-hours.
