Molitor, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 28, 2025, GeoSense, LLC, on behalf of Molitor, LLC (the applicant), 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 Molitor Hydroelectric Project (or Project) to be located on Deep Creek, tributary of the Snake River, in Twin falls County, Idaho. 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 90-foot-long, 9.5 foot-high, 2-foot-wide concrete embankment; (2) a 0.5-acre impoundment with a normal surface elevation of approximately 3,310 feet above sea level; (3) a 3,500-foot-long concrete canal; (4) a 750-foot-long, 55-inch-diamater buried steel penstock; (5) a 40-foot-long, 25-foot-wide concrete and steel powerhouse containing a 714 kilowatt horizontal-Francis turbine-generator unit; (6) a 4,800-foot-long transmission line extending from powerhouse to the point of interconnection with Idaho Power facilities; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Project would be 4,376 megawatt-hours.
