AMENICO Green Solutions, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To 
Intervene

    On February 8, 2012, AMENICO Green Solutions, 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 
Pittsfield Mill Dam Hydropower Project (Pittsfield Mill Dam Project or 
project) to be located on Suncook River, in the Town of Pittsfield, 
Merrimack 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 the following: (1) The 
existing 421-foot-long, 21-foot-high Pittsfield Mill dam, which is 
owned by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services; (2) an 
existing 20 acre impoundment with 112 acre-feet of storage capacity at 
the spillway crest elevation of 474.5 feet above mean sea level (MSL); 
(3) an existing intake structure; (4) an existing 9-foot-diameter, 200-
foot-long steel penstock; (5) an existing powerhouse containing an 
existing 415 kilowatt turbine-generator; (6) an existing 65-foot-long 
tailrace; (7) a new 200-foot-long transmission line; and (8) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the 
Pittsfield Mill Dam Project would be 2.0 gigawatt-hours (GWH).
