KC Small Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and

    On December 5, 2013, KC Small Hydro, 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 hydropower at the existing 
Scoby dam located on Cattaraugus Creek in Erie County, New York. The

owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed Scoby Dam Hydropower Project would consist of the 
following: (1) An existing 338-foot-long and 40-foot-high ogee-shaped 
concrete gravity dam with a 183-foot-long spillway; (2) an existing 
impoundment having a surface area of 22 acres and a storage capacity of 
52 acre-feet at an elevation of 1,080 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) 
two new Archimedes screw turbine-generator units with an installed 
capacity of 250 kilowatts each; (4) a new 480-volt, approximately 1-
mile-long transmission line extending from the site to an existing 
three-phase line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project 
would have an annual generation of 1.5 gigawatt-hours.
