Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

May 4, 2009. 

On April 3, 2009, Northeast 

Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Pittsfield Mill 

Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be located 

on the Suncook River, in Hillsborough 

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 

facilities. The Pittsfield Mill Dam 

Project would have an estimated average 

annual generation of between 2,120 

megawatts-hours, which would be sold 

to Public Service of New Hampshire.
