[Project No. 14866–000] 

Merchant Hydro Developers, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On December 22, 2017, Merchant 

Hydro Developers, 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 Preckle Pumped 

Storage Hydro Project to be located near 

Duryea Borough in Luzerne County, 

Pennsylvania and Ransom Township in 

Lackawanna 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 consist of 

the following: (1) A new upper reservoir 

with a surface area of 300 acres and a 

storage capacity of 4,500 acre-feet at a 

surface elevation of approximately 1,356 

feet above mean sea level (msl) created 

through construction of a new rollercompacted concrete or rock-fill dam; (2) 

a new lower reservoir with a surface 

area of 200 acres and a storage capacity 

of 3,480 acre-feet at a surface elevation 

of 550 feet msl; (3) two new 5,640-footlong, 16-foot-diameter penstocks 

connecting the upper and lower 

reservoirs; (4) a new 150-foot-long, 250- 

foot-wide, 50-foot-high powerhouse 

containing two turbine-generator units 

with a total rated capacity of 450 

megawatts; (5) a new 13,200-foot-long 

transmission line connecting the 

powerhouse to the 230/69-kilovolt 

Stanton substation owned by PPL 

Electric Utilities; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

have an annual generation of 27,594 

megawatt-hours.
