[Project No. 14256-000]


Windsor Machinery Co., Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On August 15, 2011, Windsor Machinery Co., Inc. 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 
Braendly Hydroelectric Project to be located on Fishkill Creek in 
Dutchess County, New York. 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 redevelop an abandoned project and 
consist of: (1) An existing 130-foot-long, 18-foot-high cut stone with 
a concrete cap dam creating a reservoir with a surface area of 
approximately 3.04 acres and a total storage capacity of 15 acre-feet 
at a normal maximum operating elevation of 119.5 feet mean sea level 
(msl); (2) a new 5-foot-diameter, 200-foot-long penstock replacing an 
existing penstock in its entirety; (3) a new 35-foot-long by 35-foot-
wide 3-storey high powerhouse at the site of an original powerhouse 
containing one turbine unit with a rated capacity of 225 kilowatts; (4) 
an existing 10-foot-long by 5-foot-wide tailrace; (5) a new 480-volt, 
400-foot-long transmission line extending from the powerhouse to a 
nearby building; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project would have 
an annual generation of 1,600 megawatt-hours.
