DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13870–000] 

Qualified Hydro 34, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On October 15, 2010, Qualified Hydro 

34, 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 

Foster Joseph Sayers Dam Hydroelectric 

Project to be located on Bald Eagle 

Creek in the vicinity of Liberty 

Township in Centre 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 would utilize 

the existing U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ Foster Joseph Sayers Dam 

and would consist of the following: (1) 

One vertical Kaplan turbine and 

generator unit rated at 25-megawatts; (2) 

a 40- by 50-foot powerhouse; (3) a 100- 

foot-long steel-lined penstock; (4) a 

6,600-foot-long transmission line; and 

(5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Foster Joseph 

Sayers Dam Hydroelectric Project would 

be 12 gigawatt-hours.
