Dodge Mill Realty, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
December 8, 2010.
On December 3, 2010, Dodge Mill Realty, 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 Dodgeville Dam Hydroelectric Project to be located on the 10 Mile River near the Town of Attleboro, in Bristol County, Massachusetts. 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 20-foot-high, 400-foot-long Dodgeville dam equipped with a 40-foot-long spillway; (2) the existing 23-acre Dodgeville pond with a normal pool elevation of 101.5 feet NGVD; (3) a new 4-foot-wide, 7-foot-high intake structure equipped with a new slide gate and trashrack; (4) a new 4-foot-diameter, 50-foot-long penstock; (5) a new powerhouse with four turbine generating units with a total installed capacity of 56 kilowatts; and (6) a new 220 volt, 300-foot-long transmission line. The project would produce an estimated average annual generation of about 236 megawatt-hours.
