          - [Project No. 14085-000]

                    On February 4, 2011, the Village of Swanton, Vermont (Swanton) filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal                           ( print page 9340)                        Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Swanton Dam Hydroelectric Project to be located on the Missisquoi River in the Village of Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont. 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: (1) The existing 12-foot-high, 335-foot-long Swanton dam equipped with a 331-foot-long spillway; (2) the existing 170-acre reservoir with a normal water surface elevation of 108 feet NGVD; (3) an existing headgate structure equipped with trashracks; (4) a new powerhouse containing two turbine generating units with a total installed capacity of 825 kilowatts; (5) a new 45-foot-wide, 45-foot-long tailrace; and (6) a new 210-foot-long, 12.47-kilovolt transmission line. The project would produce an estimated average annual generation of about 3,580 megawatt-hours.
