Lewis County Development Corporation; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On May 2, 2013, the Lewis County Development Corporation (Lewis 
County Corp), 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 Croghan Dam Hydroelectric Project 
(project) to be located at the existing Croghan Dam, on the Beaver 
River, in Lewis 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) An existing concrete 
gravity dam structure consisting of an 11.5-foot-high by 120-foot-long 
section, and a 9.5-foot-high by 103-foot-long section; (2) an existing 
impoundment with a normal water surface elevation of 818 feet mean sea 
level extending 2.7 miles upstream; (3) a new 75-foot-long by 35-foot-
wide powerhouse; (4) a new turbine generator unit with a total 
installed capacity of 500 kilowatts; (5) a new 13.2-kilovolt 
transmission line interconnecting with the National Grid; and (6) 
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would operate in run-of-
river mode and generate an estimated average annual generation of 1,387 
megawatt-hours.

Corporation, P.O. Box 308, Lyons Falls, NY 13368, (315) 348-4066.
