    Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation; Notice of Preliminary
    Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions
    To Intervene, and Competing Applications

        On February 18, 2025, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
    filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f)
    of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the existing
    Dashville Hydroelectric Project (Dashville Project) on the Wallkill
    River in Ulster 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 Dashville Project is an existing operating project that
    currently is not licensed.\1\ The project consists of the following
    facilities: (1) a 358-foot-long concrete gravity dam with a 330-foot-
    long spillway having a crest elevation of 169 feet mean sea level
    (msl); (2) a 3.5-foot-high rubber crest gate installed on top of the
    spillway; (3) an impoundment having a surface area of 300 acres and a
    storage capacity of 515 acre-feet at a water surface elevation of 172.5
    feet msl; (4) a 60-foot-long and 80-foot-wide masonry and reinforced
    concrete powerhouse containing two turbine-generator units having a
    total capacity of 5,400 kilowatts; (5) a substation; and (6)
    appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an annual
    generation of 16,000 megawatt-hours.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \1\ On February 6, 2025, the Commission determined that the
    project is jurisdictional and required to be licensed. 190 FERC ]
