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

    On November 23, 2020, One Drop Hydro, LLC, filed an application for 
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Manville Dam Project 
(project), on the Blackstone River in Providence County, Rhode Island. 
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) An existing 246-foot-
long, 18-foot-high stone masonry, arch-gravity dam with a crest 
elevation of 105.72 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 
88); (2) an existing impoundment with a surface area of 2.83 acres and 
a total storage capacity of 45.45-acre-feet at a surface elevation of 
106.22 feet NAVD 88; (3) two new 125-kilowatt (kW) Siphon Kaplan 
turbine-generator units for a total installed capacity of 250 kW; (4) a 
new transformer and 528-foot-long, 13-kilovolt transmission line 
connecting the turbine-generator units to the regional grid; and (5) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Manville 
Dam Project would be 1,839 megawatt-hours.
