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.

The proposed project would consist of: (1) The existing 9.5-foot- high, 170-foot-long granite block Ben Smith dam; (2) the existing 18.75-acre Ben Smith dam impoundment with a storage capacity of 475 acre-feet and a normal water surface elevation of 177 feet above mean sea level (msl); (3) an existing 1,600-foot-long power canal leading to an existing gatehouse at the upstream end of the existing 18.3-acre Mill Pond impoundment with a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet and a normal water surface elevation of 176 feet msl; (4) the existing masonry Mill Pond dam; (5) an existing 7-foot-diameter, 49-foot-long penstock; (6) an existing masonry powerhouse containing one turbine- generator unit with an installed capacity of 290-kilowatts; (7) two 300-foot-long masonry tailraces; (8) an existing 480-volt transmission line and a 13.8 kV step-up transformer to interconnect the project with the Clock Tower Place; and (9) appurtenant facilities.
