Hydro Energy Technologies LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

November 18, 2009.
    On October 20, 2009, Hydro Energy Technologies LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Newton 
Falls East Hydroelectric Project, located in Trumball County, in the 
State of Ohio. 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 developments:
    (1) An existing 151-feet-long, 17-feet-high concrete gravity Lowery 
Dam; (2) an existing reservoir having a surface area of 146 acres and a 
storage capacity of 843 acre-feet and normal water surface elevation of 
895 feet mean sea level; (3) a proposed reconstructed powerhouse 
containing one or more vertical open flume turbine generating units 
having a combined nominal capacity of 200-megawatt; (4) an existing 
tailrace; (5) a proposed 75-feet-long, 480-VAC transmission line and 
transformer; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed development 
would have an average annual generation of 1,300 megawatt-hours.
