located on the Suncook River, in 

Merrimack County, New Hampshire. On 

March 25, 2009, the applicant filed 

corrections to their original preliminary 

permit application for the Buck Street 

Dams Project. 

The proposed Buck Street Dams 

Project would be located along the 

Suncook River channel below the 

existing outlet works at an existing dam 

owned by the New Hampshire 

Department of Environmental Services. 

The existing dams are 198 feet long and 

15 feet high and impound the Suncook 

River. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) Either a new approximately 120- 

foot-long power canal or dual 7-footdiameter penstocks located below the 

existing outlet facilities below East Buck 

Street Dam; (2) a new powerhouse 

containing two or three submersible or 

tubular-type turbine-generators with a 

total hydraulic capacity of 600 cubic 

feet per second and a either a total 

installed generating capacity of 0.394 

megawatts; (3) a newly excavated 150- 

foot-long tailrace; (4) an approximately 

200-foot-long transmission line; (5) one 

foot of new flashboards would be added
