James R. Robertson, PE; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On February 10, 2014, James R. Robertson, PE, filed an application 
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Sutton Dam, on the Elk River, in 
Sutton, Braxton County, West Virginia. 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 land-
disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by 
others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed Sutton Hydroelectric Power Project would consist of 
the following: (1) A new 80-foot-long by 40-foot-wide powerhouse 
containing three generating units with a total installed capacity of 
9.2 megawatts; (2) a new multiple-port intake structure to be located 
at the upstream face of the Sutton dam; (3) a new 12-foot-diameter, 
300-foot-long steel penstock; (4) a new 70-foot-long by 30-foot-wide 
switchyard; (5) a new 138-kilovolt, 4,000-foot-long transmission line; 
and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the 
proposed project would be 36 gigawatt-hours.
