Claverack Creek, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On December 31, 2010, Claverack Creek, 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 Claverack Creek 
Hydroelectric Project to be located on Claverack Creek, in Columbia 
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 16-foot-
high, 170-foot-long Stottville Mill Dam; (2) an existing 11.4-acre 
impoundment with a normal water surface elevation of 106.0 feet mean 
sea level; (3) an existing turbine with a new generator and a new 
turbine-generator with a total capacity of 450 kilowatts; (4) an 
existing 10-foot-wide, 8-foot-deep intake canal; (5) new trash racks, 
head gates, and stop log structure; (6) an existing 6-foot-diameter, 
10-foot-long penstock and a new 10-foot-long penstock extension; (7) a 
new 40-foot-wide, 60-foot-long powerhouse; (8) an existing 10-foot-
wide, 20-foot-long tailrace; (9) a new approximately 200-foot-long, 
13.2-kilovolt transmission line from the powerhouse to a nearby 
distribution line; (10) a redeveloped 100-foot-long access road; (11) 
and appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated annual 
generation of 2,182 megawatt-hours.
