The Hepburn Street Dam is owned by the state of 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 [[Page 76282]] upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission. The proposed project would consist of: (1) The existing 1,015-foot- long and approximately 14.5-foot-high dam discharging into the West Branch of the Susquehanna River; (2) one 150-foot-wide, 25-foot-deep Large Frame Module (LFM) containing ten 900-kilowatt (kW) hydropower turbines for a total installed capacity of 9,000 kW; (3) a 150-foot- wide, 150-foot-long tailrace; (4) a 25-foot by 50-foot switchyard containing a new transformer and control room; (5) a 1,000-foot-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line connecting the generating power to the local grid using an existing substation; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The LFM would be installed either adjacent to the dam in the existing levee north of the dam or on the upper poolside of the dam. The estimated annual generation of the Hepburn Project would be 51,000 megawatt-hours. Applicant Contact: Mr. Wayne F.
