KC Hydro LLC of New Hampshire; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On August 8, 2011, KC Hydro LLC of New Hampshire, 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 
Milton Three Ponds Dam Hydropower Project (project) to be located on 
the Falls River, near the Town of Milton, Strafford County, New 
Hampshire. 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 156-foot-
long, 19-foot-high Milton stone masonry and concrete gravity Three 
Ponds Dam equipped with an electronically controlled Obermeyer crest 
gate, two motor-driven outlet gates, and twenty stoplog bays; (2) an 
existing 1,400-acre

impoundment that includes Milton Pond, Northeast Pond, and Town House 
Pond with a normal maximum pool elevation of 413.87 feet National 
Geodetic Vertical Datum; (3) either a new 80-foot-long power canal or 
two 80-foot-long concrete penstocks located below an the existing 
Obermeyer outlet gate; (4) a new 1,250-square-foot powerhouse 
containing one or two submersible or tubular-type turbine generators 
with a total installed capacity of 210 kilowatts; (5) a new 150-foot-
long tailrace; (6) a new 400-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt transmission 
line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an 
estimated average annual energy generation of 1,000 megawatt-hours, 
which would be sold to Public Service of New Hampshire.
