[Project No. 13840–000] 

ECOsponsible, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions to Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On September 15, 2010, 

ECOsponsible, Inc., 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 Niagara River Community Hydro 

Project #2 (Niagara #2 Project or project) 

to be located on the Niagara River, near 

Lewiston, in Niagara County, New York. 

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 landdisturbing 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) Five hydrokinetic 

turbine support structures, each 

containing four 10-foot-diameter Spitfire 

Horizontal Axis Turbines rated at 

approximately 250 kilowatts (kW) each; 

(2) a 150-kilovolt (kV) underwater 

transmission line connecting the triads 

and transmitting electricity to an 

onshore collection substation and point 

of interconnection switchyard; (3) an 

operations and maintenance building to 

house the command center of the 

project’s supervisory control and data 

acquisition system; and (4) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the Niagara #2 Project 

would be 550,000 megawatt-hours.
