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

    On September 9, 2013, Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC, filed an application 
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Tuttle Creek 
Hydroelectric Project (Tuttle Creek Project or project) to be located 
on Big Blue River, in the city of Manhattan, Riley County, Kansas. 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 the following: (1) A new 350-
foot-long, 16-foot-diameter steel penstock; (2) a new 100-foot-long, 
50-foot-wide concrete powerhouse, containing one 7.9-megawatt (MW) 
turbine generator unit; (3) a new 2.8-mile-long, 25-kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line; (4) an existing 860-foot-long, 20-foot-diameter 
horseshoe conduit; (5) a new 40-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard 
connecting to the existing Weststar Substation; and (6) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Tuttle Creek Project 
would be 30,500 megawatt-hours per year.
