m. The application is not ready for

n. Project Description: The existing 

project consists of a 240-foot-long dam 

that includes: (1) a 90-foot-long earth 

section faced with steel sheet piling; (2) 

a 50-foot-long concrete section with 

three 12-foot-long Tainter gates with a 

crest elevation of 771.28 National 

Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 

29) when fully open; (3) a 29-foot-long, 

56-foot-wide powerhouse that includes 

an intake structure and a 210-kilowatt 

vertical Francis turbine-generator; and 

(4) a 71-foot-long earth section faced 

with steel sheet piling. 

The dam creates an impoundment 

with a surface area of 253 acres at a 

normal pool elevation of 770.2 feet 

NGVD 29. From the impoundment, 

water flows through the powerhouse to 

a tailrace that empties into the Waupaca 

River. The generator is connected to the 

regional electric grid by a 4.16-kilovolt 

(kV) underground generator lead line 

and a step-up transformer. 

Project recreation facilities include a 

hand-carry boat portage route and a 

hand-carry boat put-in site 

approximately 150 feet downstream of 

the dam. 

The current license requires the 

licensee to operate the project in a runof-river mode, such that outflow from 

the project approximates inflow and the 

surface elevation of the impoundment is 

maintained between 769.95 and 770.45 

feet NGVD 29. The minimum and 

maximum hydraulic capacities of the 

powerhouse are 35 and 229 cfs, 

respectively. The average annual 

generation of the project was 1,385 

megawatt-hours from 2017 through 

2023. 

Wiscons8 proposes to: (1) continue 

operating the project in a run-of-river 

mode and maintaining the 

impoundment elevation between 769.95 

and 770.45 feet NGVD 29; (2) replace 

the existing turbine runner (‘‘from a 

Leffel 36z to a Leffel 36s’’) to improve 

turbine hydraulic efficiency; (3) install a 

new programmable logic controller to 

ensure compliance with run-of-river 

operation, including automation of the 

Tainter gates when inflow is greater 

than the 229-cfs maximum hydraulic 

capacity of the turbine; and (4) continue 

maintaining the project recreation 

facilities. 

o. In addition to publishing the full 

text of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the Commission provides all 

interested persons an opportunity to 

view and/or print the contents of this 

notice, as well as other documents in 

the proceeding (e.g., license application)

[Project No. 15378–000] 

Kram Hydro 6, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On October 21, 2024, Kram Hydro 6, 

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 a 

hydropower project that would be 

located at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) Dewey Lake Dam on 

John’s Creek, near the City of 

Paintsville, in Floyd County, Kentucky. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed Dewey Lake Dam 

Hydroelectric Project would consist of 

the following: (1) a 40-foot-wide, 85- 

foot-long armored intake channel; (2) a 

20-foot-diameter, 1,400-foot-long 

penstock; (3) a 70-foot-long, 120-footwide concrete powerhouse located 

downstream of the dam on the west 

bank, containing two Kaplan turbinegenerator units, with a combined 

capacity of 5.5 megawatts; (4) a 30-footlong, 50-foot-wide unlined tailrace; (5) a 

substation, adjacent to the powerhouse; 

and (6) a 150-foot-long, 69 kilovolt 

transmission line that would 

interconnect with an existing 

distribution line. The proposed project 

would have an estimated annual 

generation of 24 gigawatt-hours.
