[Project No. 13135-002]

City of Watervliet; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On July 1, 2011, the City of Watervliet 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 Delta 
Hydroelectric Project to be located at Delta Dam on the Mohawk River in 
Oneida County, New York. 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) The existing 1,016-foot-
long, 76-foot-high Delta Dam, owned by the New York State Canal 
Corporation, (2) an existing impoundment having a surface area of 2,700 
acres and a storage capacity of 63,200 acre-feet and normal water 
surface elevation of 550 feet mean sea level, (3) a proposed powerhouse 
containing two generating units with a total installed capacity of 5.0 
megawatts, (4) a proposed 17,000-foot-long, 13.2-kilovolt underground 
generator lead, and (5) appurtenant facilities. The project would have 
an annual generation of 14.1 gigawatt hours.
