[Project No. 13397–000] 

Northeast Hydrodevelopment, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

May 4, 2009. 

On March 13, 2009, Northeast 

Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Mascoma 

Lake Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be 

located on the Mascoma River, in 

Grafton County, New Hampshire. On 

April 7, 2009, the applicant filed revised 

Exhibits 1, 4–1a, and 4–3b for the 

proposed project. 

The proposed Mascoma Lake Dam 

Project would be located Mascoma River 

channel below the existing outlet works 

at an existing dam owned by the Granite 

State Electric Company. The existing 

dam, which impounds the Mascoma 

River, is 575 feet long and 18 feet high 

and includes four 6-foot-wide outlet 

gates, seven 35-foot-wide stoplog bays 

atop a 125-foot-long concrete spillway. 

The impoundment encompasses about 

1155 surface acres. 

The proposed project would consist of 

either scenario A: (1) a newly 

constructed powerhouse at the end of a 

80-foot-long canal built in the channel 

below the existing outlet works; (2) one 

or two submersible or tubular-type 

turbine-generators, plus an 

‘‘environmental’’ turbine to pass a 

minimum flow, with a total hydraulic 

capacity of 500 cubic feet per second 

and a total installed generating capacity 

of 0.314 megawatts; (3) a newly 

excavated 150-foot-long tailrace; (4) an 

approximately 700-foot-long 

transmission line; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities; or scenario B: (1) A new 

powerhouse would be located at the end 

of an 800-foot-long penstcock; (2) one or 

two submersible or tubular-type turbinegenerators, plus an ‘‘environmental’’ 

turbine to pass a minimum flow, with 

a total hydraulic capacity of 500 cubic 

feet per second and a total installed 

generating capacity of 0.539 megawatts; 

(3) a newly excavated 200-foot-long 

tailrace; (4) an approximately 400-footlong transmission line; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. The Mascoma 

Lake Dam Project would have an 

estimated average annual generation of 

2,156 megawatts-hours (MWh), which 

would be sold to Public Service of New 

Hampshire.

May 4, 2009. 

On March 13, 2009, Northeast 

Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Weare 

Reservoir Dam Hydroelectric Project, to 

be located on the Piscataquog River, in 

Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. 

The proposed Weare Reservoir Dam 

Project would be located along the 

Picatauog River channel below the 

existing outlet works at an existing dam 

owned by the New Hampshire 

Department of Environmental Services. 

The existing dam, which impounds the 

Piscataquog River, is 340 feet long and 

34 feet high and includes a 36-inchdiameter steel penstock control by 

outlet gatehouse, five 5-foot-wide 

stoplog bays atop a 157-foot-long 

concrete spillway. The impoundment 

encompasses about 323 surface acres. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) A newly constructed powerhouse 

below the existing outlet works; (2) a 

100-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter 

penstock with electrically controlled 

butterfly valve; (3) two submersible or 

tubular-type turbine-generators with a 

total hydraulic capacity of 85 cubic feet 

per second and a total installed 

generating capacity of 0.150 megawatts; 

(4) a newly excavated 125-foot-long 

tailrace; (5) an approximately 400-footlong transmission line; and (6) 

appurtenant facilities. The Weare 

Reservoir Dam Project would have an
