KC Small Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
[top] On December 5, 2013, KC Small 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 hydropower at the existing Scoby dam located on Cattaraugus Creek in Erie 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
The proposed Scoby Dam Hydropower Project would consist of the following: (1) An existing 338-foot-long and 40-foot-high ogee-shaped concrete gravity dam with a 183-foot-long spillway; (2) an existing impoundment having a surface area of 22 acres and a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet at an elevation of 1,080 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) two new Archimedes screw turbine-generator units with an installed capacity of 250 kilowatts each; (4) a new 480-volt, approximately 1-mile-long transmission line extending from the site to an existing three-phase line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an annual generation of 1.5 gigawatt-hours.
