Commission 

[Project No. 14718–000] 

Grafton Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On October 9, 2015, Grafton Hydro, 

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 

Lebanon-Mascoma Hydroelectric Project 

(Lebanon-Mascoma Project or project) to 

be located on Mascoma River in the city 

of Lebanon, Grafton County, New 

Hampshire. 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 include 

two developments. Development 1 

would be located near the downtown 

section of the city of Lebanon and 

Development 2 would be located at the 

existing Mascoma Lake dam. 

Development 1 would consist of: (1) A 

new 110-foot-long, reinforced concrete 

dam with a 60-foot-long, bottom-hinged, 

operable crest spillway; (2) a new 

impoundment with a surface area of less 

than 2 acres and a normal volume of 

less than 10 acre-feet; (3) a 1,200-footlong, 7-foot-diameter, steel penstock; (4) 

a new 40-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 

reinforced concrete powerhouse 

containing a new 2,000-horsepower 

Kaplan-type turbine and a new 1,500- 

kilowatt (kW) synchronous generator; 

(5) an approximately 500-foot-long 

transmission line connecting the 

generator to a 2.0 kilovolt amps (kVA) 

transformer; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. 

Development 2 would consist of: (1) 

The existing 18-foot-high, 575-foot-long 

concrete gravity Mascoma Lake dam 

with four 6-foot-wide outlet gates, seven 

35-foot-wide stoplog bays, and a 125- 

foot-long overflow spillway; (2) the 

existing 1,158-acre Mascoma Lake 

impoundment; (3) a new 40-foot-long, 

30-foot-wide, reinforced concrete 

powerhouse containing four 150- 

horsepower, horizontal axis, propellertype turbines, each with a 150-kW 

asynchronous generator; (4) an 

approximately 500-foot-long 

transmission line connecting the 

generators to a 1.0-kVA transformer; and 

(5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the project would 

be 6,500 megawatt-hours. The existing 

Mascoma Lake dam and impoundment 

are owned and operated by the New 

Hampshire Department of 

Environmental Services.
