[Project No. 13952-000]
Claverack Creek, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On December 31, 2010, Claverack Creek, 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 the Claverack Creek
Hydroelectric Project to be located on Claverack Creek, in Columbia
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 proposed project would consist of: (1) The existing 16-foot-
high, 170-foot-long Stottville Mill Dam; (2) an existing 11.4-acre
impoundment with a normal water surface elevation of 106.0 feet mean
sea level; (3) an existing turbine with a new generator and a new
turbine-generator with a total capacity of 450 kilowatts; (4) an
existing 10-foot-wide, 8-foot-deep intake canal; (5) new trash racks,
head gates, and stop log structure; (6) an existing 6-foot-diameter,
10-foot-long penstock and a new 10-foot-long penstock extension; (7) a
new 40-foot-wide, 60-foot-long powerhouse; (8) an existing 10-foot-
wide, 20-foot-long tailrace; (9) a new approximately 200-foot-long,
13.2-kilovolt transmission line from the powerhouse to a nearby
distribution line; (10) a redeveloped 100-foot-long access road; (11)
and appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated annual
generation of 2,182 megawatt-hours.
