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

January 31, 2011.
    On December 30, 2010, Mahoning Hydropower, 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 Lake Milton 
Hydroelectric Project (Lake Milton Project or project) to be located on 
the Mahoning River, in the town of Lake Milton, Mahoning County, Ohio. 
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 two-
mile-long reservoir with a surface area of 1685 acres at a normal pool 
elevation of 948 mean sea level; (2) a 54-foot-high, 760-foot-long 
concrete gravity dam including a 650-foot-long spillway and four 60-
inch-diameter gate valves; (3) a 35-foot-long, 25-foot-wide concrete 
powerhouse located at the base of the dam and over the existing Gate 2 
discharge pipe containing one tubular S-Type propeller turbine-
generator unit with a capacity of 650 kilowatts and placed inside the 
existing 70-foot-long, 60-inch-diameter cast iron conduit through the 
existing dam; (4) a new 12.5-kilovolt, 320-foot-long transmission line 
connecting the powerhouse to an existing distribution line; and (5) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Lake 
Milton Project would be 3,700 megawatt-hours at a head range of 26-40 
feet.
