KC Lake Hydro LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On October 4, 2013, KC Lake 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 North Hadley Lake 
Warner Dam Hydropower Project (project) to be located at the outlet of 
Lake Warner, on the Miller River, near the Town of North Hadley, 
Hampshire County, Massachusetts. 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: (1) The existing 82-foot-
long, 15-foot-high, concrete gravity Lake Warner dam; (2) an existing 
70-acre impoundment with a normal maximum water surface elevation of 
128 feet above mean sea level; (3) a new 30.6-foot-long, 10.4-foot-
diameter conduit structure; (4) a new 20-foot-long, 20-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing a single turbine generator unit with an installed 
capacity of 100.8 kilowatts; (5) a new 100-foot-long, 21-kilovolt 
transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project would 
have an estimated average annual energy generation of 500 megawatt-
hours. The dam is owned and operated by the Kestrel Land Trust. There 
are no federal lands associated with the project.
