Windsor Machinery Co., Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On August 15, 2011, Windsor Machinery Co., Inc. 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 Braendly Hydroelectric Project to be located on Fishkill Creek in Dutchess 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 redevelop an abandoned project and consist of: (1) An existing 130-foot-long, 18-foot-high cut stone with a concrete cap dam creating a reservoir with a surface area of approximately 3.04 acres and a total storage capacity of 15 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 119.5 feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a new 5-foot-diameter, 200-foot-long penstock replacing an existing penstock in its entirety; (3) a new 35-foot-long by 35-foot-wide 3-storey high powerhouse at the site of an original powerhouse containing one turbine unit with a rated capacity of 225 kilowatts; (4) an existing 10-foot-long by 5-foot-wide tailrace; (5) a new 480-volt, 400-foot-long transmission line extending from the powerhouse to a nearby building; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an annual generation of 1,600 megawatt-hours.
