BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 14529-000] City of Berlin, Berlin Water Works; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications On June 19, 2013, the City of Berlin, Berlin Water Works, 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 Ammonoosuc Water Treatment Plant Hydroelectric Project (Project) to be located on a water supply conduit at the City of Berlin's municipal water treatment plant (WTP), in Coos County, New Hampshire.
The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license or exemption 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 the following:
(1)Installation of inline turbine/generator(s), housed in a concrete vault immediately upstream from an existing pressure reducing value on an existing 16 to 20-inch diameter cement-transite water main leading to the City's WTP;
(2)piping, valves, control panels, and other appurtenant equipment housed in the concrete vault; and
(3)a two-way net metering system installed on an existing underground interconnection transmission line leading to Public Service of New Hampshire's utility line #25WL. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 51.0 megawatt-hours. The WTP will use the power produced by the proposed project to run process equipment, lighting, and fulfill other electrical needs in the WTP. *Applicant Contact:* Mr. Roland Viens, Superintendent, City of Berlin, Berlin Water Works, 55 Willow Street, Berlin, New Hampshire, 03570; phone:
