Grafton Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On October 9, 2015, Grafton 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
Lebanon-Mascoma Hydroelectric Project
(Lebanon-Mascoma Project or project) to
be located on Mascoma River in the city
of Lebanon, Grafton 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 include
two developments. Development 1
would be located near the downtown
section of the city of Lebanon and
Development 2 would be located at the
existing Mascoma Lake dam.
Development 1 would consist of: (1) A
new 110-foot-long, reinforced concrete
dam with a 60-foot-long, bottom-hinged,
operable crest spillway; (2) a new
impoundment with a surface area of less
than 2 acres and a normal volume of
less than 10 acre-feet; (3) a 1,200-footlong, 7-foot-diameter, steel penstock; (4)
a new 40-foot-long, 30-foot-wide,
reinforced concrete powerhouse
containing a new 2,000-horsepower
Kaplan-type turbine and a new 1,500kilowatt (kW) synchronous generator;
(5) an approximately 500-foot-long
transmission line connecting the
generator to a 2.0 kilovolt amps (kVA)
transformer; and (6) appurtenant
facilities.
Development 2 would consist of: (1)
The existing 18-foot-high, 575-foot-long
concrete gravity Mascoma Lake dam
with four 6-foot-wide outlet gates, seven
35-foot-wide stoplog bays, and a 125foot-long overflow spillway; (2) the
existing 1,158-acre Mascoma Lake
impoundment; (3) a new 40-foot-long,
30-foot-wide, reinforced concrete
powerhouse containing four 150horsepower, horizontal axis, propellertype turbines, each with a 150-kW
asynchronous generator; (4) an
approximately 500-foot-long

transmission line connecting the
generators to a 1.0-kVA transformer; and
(5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the project would
be 6,500 megawatt-hours. The existing
Mascoma Lake dam and impoundment
are owned and operated by the New
Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services.
