Merchant Hydro Developers, LLC;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On December 22, 2017, Merchant
Hydro Developers, 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 Preckle Pumped
Storage Hydro Project to be located near
Duryea Borough in Luzerne County,
Pennsylvania and Ransom Township in
Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. 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 consist of
the following: (1) A new upper reservoir
with a surface area of 300 acres and a
storage capacity of 4,500 acre-feet at a
surface elevation of approximately 1,356
feet above mean sea level (msl) created
through construction of a new rollercompacted concrete or rock-fill dam; (2)
a new lower reservoir with a surface
area of 200 acres and a storage capacity
of 3,480 acre-feet at a surface elevation
of 550 feet msl; (3) two new 5,640-footlong, 16-foot-diameter penstocks
connecting the upper and lower
reservoirs; (4) a new 150-foot-long, 250foot-wide, 50-foot-high powerhouse
containing two turbine-generator units
with a total rated capacity of 450
megawatts; (5) a new 13,200-foot-long
transmission line connecting the
powerhouse to the 230/69-kilovolt
Stanton substation owned by PPL
Electric Utilities; and (6) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would
have an annual generation of 27,594
megawatt-hours.
