Northeast Hydrodevelopment, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

May 4, 2009.
    On March 9, 2009, Northeast Hydrodevelopment, LLC filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Main Street Dam Hydroelectric 
Project, to be located on the Salmon Brook River, in Hillsborough 
County, New Hampshire. On April 7, 2009, the applicant filed 
corrections to their original preliminary permit application for the 
Main Street Dam Project.
    The proposed Main Street Dam Project would be located along the 
Salmon Brook River channel below the existing outlet works at an 
existing dam owned by the Pennichuck Water Works Company. The existing 
dam, which impounds the Suncook River, is 75 feet long and 18 feet 
high, and includes a 31-foot-long board crested weir spillway and a 54-
inch-diameter penstock.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) One submersible or 
tubular-type turbine-generator, with a total hydraulic capacity of 80 
cubic feet per second and a total installed generating capacity of 
0.085 megawatts, connected to a rehabilitated 54-inch-diameter 
penstock; (3) a newly excavated 125-foot-long tailrace; (4) an 
approximately 100-foot-long transmission line; (5) 2.5 foot of new 
flashboards would be reinstalled on the crest of the Main Street Dam 
spillway; (6) a rehabilitated gate structure and new trash racks 
installed; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The Main Street Dam Project 
would have an estimated average annual generation of 425 megawatts-
hours (MWh), which would be sold to Public Service of New Hampshire.
