Mid-Atlantic Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On September 9, 2013, Mid-Atlantic Hydro, 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 Tuttle Creek Hydroelectric Project (Tuttle Creek Project or project) to be located on Big Blue River, in the city of Manhattan, Riley County, Kansas. 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 the following: (1) A new 350-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter steel penstock; (2) a new 100-foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete powerhouse, containing one 7.9-megawatt (MW) turbine generator unit; (3) a new 2.8-mile-long, 25-kilovolt (kV) transmission line; (4) an existing 860-foot-long, 20-foot-diameter horseshoe conduit; (5) a new 40-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard connecting to the existing Weststar Substation; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Tuttle Creek Project would be 30,500 megawatt-hours per year.
