Dodge Mill Realty, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

December 8, 2010.
    On December 3, 2010, Dodge Mill Realty, 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 Dodgeville Dam 
Hydroelectric Project to be located on the 10 Mile River near the Town 
of Attleboro, in Bristol County, Massachusetts. 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: (1) The existing 20-foot-
high, 400-foot-long Dodgeville dam equipped with a 40-foot-long 
spillway; (2) the existing 23-acre Dodgeville pond with a normal pool 
elevation of 101.5 feet NGVD; (3) a new 4-foot-wide, 7-foot-high intake 
structure equipped with a new slide gate and trashrack; (4) a new 4-
foot-diameter, 50-foot-long penstock; (5) a new powerhouse with four 
turbine generating units with a total installed capacity of 56 
kilowatts; and (6) a new 220 volt, 300-foot-long transmission line. The 
project would produce an estimated average annual generation of about 
236 megawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Gary Demers, 453 South Main Street, Attleboro, 
MA 02703, phone: (508) 222-2181 or (508) 369-5955.
