Union Falls Hydropower L.P.; Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P.;
Notice of Application for Amendment and Transfer of License and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests
Take notice that the following hydroelectric application has been
filed with the Commission and is available for public inspection.
a. Type of Application: Amendment and Transfer of License.
Licensees for the Saranac Project No. 4472, Union Falls Hydropower L.P.
(Union Falls) and Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P. (Erie Boulevard),
request that the Commission amend the existing Saranac Project, which
consists of two developments, the Franklin Falls Development and the
Union Falls Development. The amendment would divide the two
developments into separately-licensed projects and simultaneously
approve a license transfer so that there are no longer co-licensees but
rather Union Falls would become the sole licensee for the Union Falls
Project, and Erie Boulevard would become the sole licensee for the
Franklin Falls Project. If the amendment application is approved, the
license for the Union Falls Development, would continue to be referred
to as the Saranac Project No. 4472 and the license for the Franklin
Falls Development would become a new project called the Franklin Falls
Project No. 15000.
