[Project No. 13877-000]
Mahoning Hydropower, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
January 4, 2011.
On November 4, 2010, Mahoning Hydro, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the Stonewall Jackson
Hydroelectric Project, to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' Stonewall Jackson dam on the West Fork River, in the Town of
Weston, Lewis County, West Virginia. 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 utilize the existing U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' Stonewall Jackson dam and would consist of: (1) An existing
42-inch-diameter, 100-foot-long penstock; (2) an existing 50-foot by
50-foot powerhouse, containing one existing generating unit with a
generating capacity of 300 kilowatts (kW), discharging directly into
the existing stilling basin through a 10-foot-wide, 4-foot-high draft
tube opening; (3) an approximately 400-foot-long, 12.4-kilovolt (kV)
existing transmission line connecting to an existing distribution
system owned by Allegheny Power; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the Stonewall Jackson Hydroelectric
Project would be 1,800 megawatt-hours.
