BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. P-14363-000] KC Hydro LLC of New Hampshire; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications On February 8, 2012, 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 Mills Hydropower Project (project) to be located on the Salmon 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 120-foot-long, 17-foot-high, concrete gravity Waumbek Dam;
(2)an existing 6-acre impoundment with a normal maximum water surface elevation of 455 feet above mean sea level;
(3)an existing 6-foot-diameter discharge conduit that would be modified to include a liner and extended downstream by 1,000 feet;
(4)a new powerhouse containing a single turbine generator unit with an installed capacity of 100 kilowatts;
(5)a new 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 500 megawatt-hours, which would be sold to Public Service of New Hampshire. The dam and impoundment are owned and operated by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. There are no federal lands associated with the project. *Applicant Contact:* Ms. Kelly Sackheim, Principal, KC Hydro LLC of New Hampshire, 5096 Cocoa Palm Way, Fair Oaks, California 95628; phone:
