Take notice that the following
hydroelectric application has been filed
with the Commission and is available
for public inspection.
a. Type of Application: New Major
License.
b. Project No.: 2934–029.
c. Date Filed: April 1, 2019.
d. Applicant: New York State Electric
& Gas Corporation (NYSEG).
e. Name of Project: Upper
Mechanicville Hydroelectric Project.
f. Location: The existing project is
located on the Hudson River, in
Saratoga and Rensselaer Counties, New
York. The project does not occupy any
federal lands.
g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power
Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a)–825(r).
h. Applicant Contact: Hugh J. Ives,
Manager, NYSEG Hydro Operations, 89
East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14649;

i. FERC Contact: Jody Callihan, (202)
502–8278 or jody.callihan@ferc.gov.
j. This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
k. Project Description: The existing
Upper Mechanicville Hydroelectric
Project consists of: (1) A 700-foot-long
concrete gravity dam with a crest
elevation of 66.6 feet National Geodetic
Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29); (2) 3
spillway bays each extending 222 feet
across the length of the dam and
separated by a 7.5-foot to 10.5-foot-wide
concrete pier, with each spillway bay
containing 12 pneumatic Obermeyer
crest gates that are 6 feet high; (3) a 1.8mile-long impoundment with a 380-acre
surface area and gross storage capacity
of 10,735 acre-feet at a normal pool
elevation of 72.6 feet NGVD29; (4) an
intake channel with two reinforced
guide walls and three 35-foot-diameter
cofferdam walls constructed of sheet
piling; (5) a 20-foot-wide and 7.5-foothigh intake bypass sluice gate; (6) a
105.5-foot-long by 122-foot-wide
powerhouse containing two 12,780
horsepower Kaplan turbines and two
Siemens-Allis generators each having a
rated capacity of 8,265 kilowatts; (7) a
tailrace approximately 1,200 feet long
and 120 feet wide with a bi-level bottom
designed to minimize cross-currents; (8)
one 1.10-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt
transmission line; and (9) appurtenant
facilities.
During the non-navigation season
(typically from December 1 through
April 30), NYSEG operates the project in
a run-of-river (ROR) mode and
maintains the impoundment at an
elevation of 72.6 feet NGVD29. During
the navigation season (typically May 1
through November 30), NYSEG
periodically spills water to lower the
impoundment up to 3 feet below full
pool, as directed by the New York State
Canal Corporation, to accommodate
navigation at lock C–3, and uses all
available remaining inflow (that is not
used to support navigation) for
generation purposes. NYSEG proposes
to continue operating the project as it
does currently, to support both
generation and navigation. In addition,
NYSEG proposes to enhance fish
passage at the project by: (1) Installing
upstream passage for American eel (4
years post-license); (2) developing an
agreement with the New York State
Canal Corporation to modify lock
operations to accommodate the
upstream passage of blueback herring
and American shad (commencing 2
years post-license); and (3) modifying
the project’s intake bypass sluice gate to
provide an additional route of
downstream fish passage from April 1
through November 30. The project
currently generates an annual average of
88,537 megawatt-hours.
l. Locations of the Application: A
