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

    On October 19, 2010, Renew Hydro, 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 Hepburn Street Dam 
Hydroelectric Project to be located on the West Branch of the 
Susquehanna River in the vicinity of South Williamsport in Lycoming 
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 utilize the existing State of 
Pennsylvania's Hepburn Street Dam and would consist of the following: 
(1) Six very low head turbines rated at 500-kilowatts each; (2) a new 
powerhouse; (3) a crest-mounted walkway carrying hydraulic and 
electrical conduits; (4) one 600-foot-long and one 300-foot-long 
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the Hepburn Street Dam Hydroelectric Project would be 
15,768,000 kilowatt-hours.

Hydro, LLC, 1800 Route 34, Suite 101, Wall, NJ 07719, phone: (908) 420-
