May 4, 2009. 

On March 9, 2009, Northeast 

Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Main Street 

Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be located 

on the Salmon Brook River, in 

Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. 

On April 7, 2009, the applicant filed 

corrections to their original preliminary 

permit application for the Main Street 

Dam Project. 

The proposed Main Street Dam 

Project would be located along the 

Salmon Brook River channel below the 

existing outlet works at an existing dam 

owned by the Pennichuck Water Works 

Company. The existing dam, which 

impounds the Suncook River, is 75 feet 

long and 18 feet high, and includes a 31- 

foot-long board crested weir spillway 

and a 54-inch-diameter penstock. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) One submersible or tubular-type 

turbine-generator, with a total hydraulic 

capacity of 80 cubic feet per second and 

a total installed generating capacity of 

0.085 megawatts, connected to a 

rehabilitated 54-inch-diameter penstock; 

(3) a newly excavated 125-foot-long 

tailrace; (4) an approximately 100-footlong transmission line; (5) 2.5 foot of 

new flashboards would be reinstalled on 

the crest of the Main Street Dam 

spillway; (6) a rehabilitated gate 

structure and new trash racks installed; 

and (7) appurtenant facilities. The Main 

Street Dam Project would have an 

estimated average annual generation of 

425 megawatts-hours (MWh), which 

would be sold to Public Service of New 

Hampshire.

County, New Hampshire. 

The proposed Pittsfield Dam 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 

dam, which impounds the Suncook 

River is 470 feet long and 21 feet high 

and includes a 159-foot-long spillway 

with two 7.5-foot-high by 6-foot-wide 

outlet gates and two 4.5-foot-wide by 

9.5-foot-high stop log bays. The 

impoundment encompasses about 20 

surface acres. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) A newly constructed powerhouse 

below the existing outlet works; (2) two 

submersible or tubular-type turbinegenerators with a total hydraulic 

capacity of 423 cubic feet per second 

and a total installed generating capacity 

of 0.530 megawatts; (3) a newly 

excavated 100-foot-long tailrace; (4) an 

approximately 200-foot-long 

transmission line; (5) appurtenant
