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

    On April 1, 2016, Swanton Hydro, LLC (Swanton Hydro) 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 
Lower Swanton Dam Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the 
Missisquoi River in the Village of Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont. 
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 335-foot-
long, 12-foot-high concrete gravity dam (Swanton dam) with a 331-foot-
long spillway with 2-foot-high wooden flashboards; (2) an existing 170-
acre impoundment with a normal water surface elevation of 112 feet 
above mean sea level; (3) a new 35-foot-long, 55-foot-wide intake 
structure with trashracks; (4) a new 100-foot-long, 55-foot-wide, 25-
foot-high powerhouse containing two turbine-generator units with a 
total installed capacity of 850 kilowatts; (5) a new 45-foot-long, 45-
foot-wide, 18-foot-deep tailrace and 50-foot-long training wall; (6) a 
new 210-foot-long, 12.47-kilovolt transmission line and transformer; 
and (7) appurtenant facilities. The project would produce an estimated 
average annual generation of 3,580 megawatt-hours. There are no federal 
lands associated with the project.
