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

    On August 8, 2011, KC Hydro LLC of New Hampshire, 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 
Weare Horace Lake Dam Hydropower Project (project) to be located on the 
Piscataquog River, near the Town of Weare, Hillsborough County, New 
Hampshire. 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 340-foot-
long, 34-foot-high, concrete gravity Weare Reservoir Dam equipped with 
a 157-foot-long ogee spillway, a 25-foot-long stoplog section with 5 
sets of stoplog bays; (2) a new 100-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter steel 
penstock; (3) an existing 323-acre impoundment with a normal maximum 
pool elevation of 655.49 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum; (4) a 
new powerhouse containing two submersible or tubular turbine-generators 
with a total installed capacity of 150 kilowatts; (5) a new 125-foot-
long tailrace; (6) a new 400-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt transmission 
line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an 
estimated average annual energy generation of 600 megawatt-hours, which 
would be sold to Public Service of New Hampshire.
