[Project No. 14559-000]


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

    On October 24, 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 Setting Pole Rapids 
Dam Hydro Project (project) to be located on the Raquette River, in 
Franklin County, New York, near the Town of Tupper Lake, 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) Installing 
three RivGen\TM\ Turbine Generator Units with a total installed 
capacity of 1,487 kilowatts below Setting Pole Rapids Dam in the 
Raquette River; (2) a shore power station housing two inverters to 
convert direct current to alternating current; (3) an overhead 1,450-
foot-long, 46.1-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from the 
project to the interconnection with National Grid; and (4) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Setting Pole Rapids 
Dam Hydro Project would be 10,420 megawatt-hours.
