On September 25, 2013, Mid-Atlantic
Hydro, 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
Button Rock Hydroelectric Project (or
project) to be located near the town of

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
the following: (1) A reservoir having a
surface area of 248 acres and a storage
capacity of 16,084 acre-feet; (2) a 925foot-long, 210-foot-high concrete-face
earthen dam, with a crest width of 30
feet and a maximum base width of 1,030
feet; (3) an existing 54-inch outlet valve
situated near the right abutment and
passing through the dam near the valley
floor; (4) a steel penstock connecting the
outlet valve to the existing conduit and
extending downstream for 100 feet; (5)
a reinforced concrete powerhouse; (6)
one 1.5-MW Francis turbine generating
unit; and (7) a 2.3-kilovolt transmission
line extending 1.75 miles from the
proposed substation to an existing
distribution line located at the
Longmont Dam. The estimated annual
generation of the Button Rock
Hydroelectric Project would be 5,000
megawatt-hours.
