k. Kennebunk Light and Power
District currently owns and holds a
license to operate and maintain the
Lower Mousam Project as FERC Project
No. 5362. On March 29, 2017,
Kennebunk Light and Power District
filed a notice stating that it does not
intend to file an application for a
subsequent license. In response to a
solicitation notice issued by the
Commission on May 15, 2017, America
First Hydro filed a pre-application
document and a notice of intent to file
an application for a license for the
Lower Mousam Project, pursuant to 18
CFR 5.5 and 5.6. Commission staff
assigned Project No. 14856 for the
licensing proceeding initiated by
America First Hydro’s filing.
l. Project Description:
The existing Lower Mousam Project
consists of the following three
developments:
Dane Perkins Development
America First Hydro LLC; Notice of
Application Tendered for Filing With
the Commission
PO 00000
May 4, 2020.
The Dane Perkins Development
consists of: (1) A 12-foot-high, 83-footlong concrete gravity dam with a 50foot-long spillway section that has a
crest elevation of 81.8 feet mean seal
level (msl) plus 2.5-foot-high
flashboards; (2) a 25-acre impoundment
with a normal maximum elevation of
84.3 feet msl; (3) a powerhouse
containing a single turbine-generator
unit rated at 150 kilowatts (kW); (4) a
generator lead connecting the turbinegenerator unit to the regional grid; and
(5) appurtenant facilities.
Twine Mill Development
The Twine Mill Development is
located approximately 0.5 mile
downstream from the Dane Perkins
Development and consists of: (1) An 18foot-high, 223-foot-long concrete gravity
dam with an 81-foot-long spillway
section that has a crest elevation of 68.8
feet msl plus 3.0-foot-high flashboards;
(2) a 12-acre impoundment with a
normal maximum elevation of 71.8 feet
msl; (3) a powerhouse containing a
single turbine-generator unit rated at
300 kW; (4) a generator lead connecting
the turbine-generator unit to the

regional grid; and (5) appurtenant
facilities.
Kesslen Development
The Kesslen Development is located
approximately 2.5 miles downstream
from the Twine Mill Development and
consists of: (1) An 18-foot-high, 140foot-long concrete gravity dam with a
114-foot-long spillway section that has a
crest elevation of 42.2 feet msl plus 1.5foot-high flashboards; (2) a 20-acre
impoundment with a normal maximum
elevation of 43.7 feet msl; (3) a
powerhouse containing a single turbinegenerator unit rated at 150 kW; (4) a
generator lead connecting the turbinegenerator unit to the regional grid; and
(5) appurtenant facilities.
The current license requires an
instantaneous minimum flow of 60
cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow,
whichever is less, downstream of the
Kesslen Development from April 1
through June 1 each year; and a
minimum flow of 5 cfs or inflow
downstream of the Kesslen
Development from June 2 through
March 31. The licensee operates the
project in a run-of-river mode on a
voluntary basis.
America First Hydro proposes to
increase the installed generation
capacity at the Dane Perkins
Development by replacing the existing
150-kW turbine-generator unit with two
turbine-generator units that have a
combined capacity of 270 kW. America
First Hydro proposes to disconnect the
generating equipment at the Kesslen
Development and allow all flow to pass
over the dam. America First Hydro also
proposes to continue operating the
project in a run-of-river mode.
