Hamilton Street Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 26, 2013, Hamilton Street Hydro, LLC, filed an application 
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), proposing to restore an existing hydropower facility at the 
existing Oakland Dam located on the Susquehanna River in Susquehanna 
County, Pennsylvania. 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 Oakland Dam Hydroelectric Project would consist of the 
following: (1) An existing 10.5-foot-high rock fill gravity dam with a 
655-foot-long spillway and a fish ladder; (2) an existing impoundment 
having a surface area of 75 acres and a storage

capacity of 825 acre-feet at an elevation of 888.6 feet mean sea level 
(msl); (3) an existing 22-foot-long by 50-foot-wide by 30-foot-high 
powerhouse with three turbine-generator units having a combined 
capacity of 1,500 kilowatts and three identical 20-foot-wide, 10-foot-
high, 5-foot-long direct intakes; (4) an existing 50-foot-long, 50-
foot-wide canal to direct flows to the intakes; (5) an existing 50-
foot-wide, 180-foot-long concrete lined tailrace; (6) an existing 150-
foot-long, 33-kilovolt transmission line; and (7) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed project would have an annual generation of 
7,000 megawatt-hours.
