New England Hydropower Company,
LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On November 9, 2012, the New
England Hydropower Company, LLC,
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 Cochrane
Dam Hydroelectric Project (Cochrane
Dam Project or project) to be located on
the Charles River, near Needham and
Dover, Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
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 landdisturbing 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) An existing 15-foothigh, 200-foot-long stone masonry
spillway dam with concrete retaining
walls; (2) an existing impoundment
with a 5.1-acre surface area and a
normal storage capacity of 640 acre-feet
at an operating elevation of about 102.3
feet above mean sea level (msl); (3) an
existing 30-foot-long, 18-foot-wide, and
10-foot-deep head box and intake
channel; (4) a new 6-foot-high, 14-footwide sluice gate equipped with a 14foot-high, 21-foot-wide trashrack with 6inch bar spacing; (5) a new 50-foot-long,
13-foot wide Archimedes screw
generator unit with an installed capacity
of 170 kilowatts; (6) a new 10-foot-high,
18-foot-long, 18-foot-wide powerhouse
containing a new gearbox and electrical
controls; (7) an existing 375-foot-long,
20-foot-wide, and 4-foot-deep tailrace;
(8) a new above ground 300-foot-long,
35-kilovolt transmission line connecting
the powerhouse to the NSTAR regional
grid; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the
proposed Cochrane Dam Project would
be about 811 megawatt-hours. The
existing Cochrane Dam and appurtenant
works, including a former powerhouse
foundation and intake structures, are
owned by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and operated by the
Massachusetts Department of
Conservation and Recreation.
