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

    On January 18, 2013, ECOsponsible, 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 Little River Hydro 
Project (Little River Project or project) to be located on the Little 
River, near the Town of Clifton, in St. Lawrence 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 consist of the following: (1) An 
existing earth dam with a height of 44 feet and a length of 1,420 feet; 
(2) an existing reservoir with a drainage area of 37 square miles, a 
surface area of 215 acres, a normal storage capacity of 1,660 acre-
feet, and a total storage capacity of 2,389 acre-feet; (3) an existing 
48-inch-diameter outlet conduit; (4) a new horizontal axis ``S'' type 
propeller turbine with a rated capacity of 1,000 kilowatts; (5) a new 
1,900-foot-long transmission line from the powerhouse to an existing 
15-kilovolt grid connection point located adjacent to state Highway 
3; (6) a new 9-foot by 9-foot metering substation; and (7) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Little 
River Project would be 7,446 megawatt-hours.
