**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.
