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

    On April 18, 2019, ECOsponsible, 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 on the Oneida 
River in Onondaga and Oswego Counties, 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 Caughdenoy Lock Hydro Project would consist of the 
following: (1) An existing 15-foot-high, 550-foot-long flood control 
dam (i.e., the Caughdenoy Dam) and an associated impoundment; (2) three 
turbines for a total installed capacity of 3,000 kilowatts to be 
installed on the Oneida Canal; (3) a new 50-foot-long transmission line 
from the powerhouse to an existing grid interconnection point; and (4) 
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average 
annual generation of 13,446 megawatt-hours.
