Competing Applications
On February 28, 2017, the Village of
North Bennington, Vermont, 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 Lake Paran Dam
Hydroelectric Project (Lake Paran
Project or project) to be located on Paran
Creek, near the Village of North
Bennington, in Bennington County,
Vermont. 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 Lake Paran Project
would consist of: (1) The existing 120foot-long, 10-foot-concrete gravity Lake
Paran Dam and spillway; (2) an existing
35-acre impoundment with a normal
maximum water surface elevation
646.65 feet above mean sea level; (3) a
new intake structure; (4) a new 250-footlong, 36-inch diameter penstock; (5) a
new 20-foot-long, 10-foot-wide concrete

and wood powerhouse containing a
single 58-kilowatt turbine-generator
unit; (6) a new 1,000-foot-long, 12.47kilovolt transmission line; and (7)
