consideration to the environmental 

effects of its proposed decisions. No 

final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its NEPA 

responsibilities.

[Project No. 14649–000] 

Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On December 1, 2014, Mid-Atlantic 

Hydro, LLC filed an application for a 

preliminary permit under section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act proposing to 

study the feasibility of the proposed 

Ellis Hydroelectric Project No. 14649– 

000, to be located at the existing Ellis 

Lock and Dam on the Muskingum River, 

near the township of Ellis, in 

Muskingum County, Ohio. The Ellis 

Lock and Dam is owned and operated 

by the state of Ohio. There are no 

federal lands associated with the 

project. 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 consist 

of: (1) The existing 340-foot-long by 

15.3-foot-high Ellis Dam spillway and 

352-acre reservoir with a normal 

elevation of 690 feet mean sea level; (2) 

five new 500-kilowatt Very Low Head 

4000 submersible turbine-generator 

units with a combined capacity of 2.5 

megawatts; (3) a new 40-foot-long by 20- 

foot-wide switchyard containing a three 

phase step-up transformer, protective 

equipment, and metering equipment; (4) 

a new 150-foot-long, 12.5 to 34.5 

kilovolt, overhead transmission line that 

would connect to an existing local 

utility distribution system; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. The project 

would have an estimated annual 

generation of 9,500 megawatt-hours.
