Northeast Hydrodevelopment, LLC;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
May 4, 2009.
On March 13, 2009, Northeast
Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act, proposing to
study the feasibility of the Mascoma
Lake Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be
located on the Mascoma River, in
Grafton County, New Hampshire. On
April 7, 2009, the applicant filed revised
Exhibits 1, 4–1a, and 4–3b for the
proposed project.
The proposed Mascoma Lake Dam
Project would be located Mascoma River
channel below the existing outlet works
at an existing dam owned by the Granite
State Electric Company. The existing
dam, which impounds the Mascoma
River, is 575 feet long and 18 feet high
and includes four 6-foot-wide outlet
gates, seven 35-foot-wide stoplog bays
atop a 125-foot-long concrete spillway.
The impoundment encompasses about
1155 surface acres.
The proposed project would consist of
either scenario A: (1) a newly
constructed powerhouse at the end of a
80-foot-long canal built in the channel
below the existing outlet works; (2) one
or two submersible or tubular-type
turbine-generators, plus an
‘‘environmental’’ turbine to pass a
minimum flow, with a total hydraulic
capacity of 500 cubic feet per second
and a total installed generating capacity
of 0.314 megawatts; (3) a newly
excavated 150-foot-long tailrace; (4) an
approximately 700-foot-long
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities; or scenario B: (1) A new

powerhouse would be located at the end
of an 800-foot-long penstcock; (2) one or
two submersible or tubular-type turbinegenerators, plus an ‘‘environmental’’
turbine to pass a minimum flow, with
a total hydraulic capacity of 500 cubic
feet per second and a total installed
generating capacity of 0.539 megawatts;
(3) a newly excavated 200-foot-long
tailrace; (4) an approximately 400-footlong transmission line; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The Mascoma
Lake Dam Project would have an
estimated average annual generation of
2,156 megawatts-hours (MWh), which
would be sold to Public Service of New
Hampshire.

On March 13, 2009, Northeast
Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act, proposing to
study the feasibility of the Weare
Reservoir Dam Hydroelectric Project, to
be located on the Piscataquog River, in
Hillsborough County, New Hampshire.
The proposed Weare Reservoir Dam
Project would be located along the
Picatauog River channel below the
existing outlet works at an existing dam
owned by the New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services.
The existing dam, which impounds the
Piscataquog River, is 340 feet long and
34 feet high and includes a 36-inchdiameter steel penstock control by
outlet gatehouse, five 5-foot-wide
stoplog bays atop a 157-foot-long
concrete spillway. The impoundment
encompasses about 323 surface acres.
The proposed project would consist
of: (1) A newly constructed powerhouse
below the existing outlet works; (2) a
100-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter
penstock with electrically controlled
butterfly valve; (3) two submersible or
tubular-type turbine-generators with a
total hydraulic capacity of 85 cubic feet
per second and a total installed
generating capacity of 0.150 megawatts;
(4) a newly excavated 125-foot-long
tailrace; (5) an approximately 400-footlong transmission line; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. The Weare
