Basin Farm Renewables, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 1, 2013, Basin Farm Renewables, LLC filed an application 
for a successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the 
Basin Farm Renewable Energy Project to be located on the Saxtons River, 
in the Town of Westminster, Windham County, Vermont. 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 project would consist of: (1) An intake structure 
equipped with trashracks; (2) an approximately 490-foot-long, 5.5-foot-
diameter steel penstock adjacent to Twin Falls; (3) a 25-foot-long, 20-
foot-wide powerhouse containing two or three turbine-generating units 
with an estimated total capacity of 250 kilowatts; (4) a 2,800-foot-
long, 15-kilovolt buried transmission line connected to the existing 
electrical distribution system at Basin Farm; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed project would

have an average annual generation of approximately 764,000 kilowatt-
hours.
