Adam Robert Rousselle, II; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 5, 2015, Adam Robert Rousselle, II 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 Nockamixon Dam 
Water Power Project (project) to be located on Tohickon Creek, in Bucks 
County, Pennsylvania. 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) The 
existing Nockamixon dam, which is 1,511 feet long and approximately 112 
feet high discharging into Tohickon Creek; (2) Nockamixon dam impounds 
a reservoir of 40,000 acre-feet with a surface area of 1,450 acres, at 
a pool elevation of 395.0 feet mean sea level; (3) a proposed 
reinforced concrete powerhouse housing three pump turbine generating 
units with a total installed capacity of 150 kilowatts; (4) a proposed 
826-foot-long, 34.5-kilovolt primary transmission line connected to 
Metropolitan Edison Company; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated annual generation of the project would be 834,000 
kilowatthours.
