Qualified Hydro 33, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

November 16, 2010.
    On October 15, 2010, Qualified Hydro 33, LLC 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 Crooked Creek Dam 
Hydroelectric Project to be located on Crooked Creek near Ford City, in 
Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. 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 will consist of the following: (1) One 
vertical Kaplan turbine-generator with a capacity of 2 megawatts; (2) a 
100-foot-long steel liner and a bifurcated penstock leading to the 
powerhouse; (3) a 40-foot by 50-foot concrete powerhouse; (4) a new 2 
MVA substation adjacent to the powerhouse; (5) a 2,750-foot-long 
transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Crooked Creek Dam Hydroelectric Project would be 
10,000 megawatt-hours.
