Peterson Machinery Sales; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 19, 2018, Peterson Machinery Sales filed an application 
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Hubbardston 
Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the Fish Creek, near 
Hubbardston, in Ionia County, Michigan. 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 be located at the site of an existing, 
non-operational hydroelectric project previously operated by Hope 
Renewable Energy, LLC without a Commission license. The proposed run-
of-river project will involve rehabilitation and upgrade of the 
following existing facilities: (1) A 60-acre, 600-acre-foot reservoir 
with normal surface elevation of 850 feet mean sea level; (2) a 350-
foot-long, 25 to 30-foot-high combination dam and spillway 
incorporating a 80-foot-long, 12-foot-wide intake channel; (3) a 30-
foot-long, 20-foot-wide, 25-foot-high powerhouse containing two Francis 
turbines and

[[Page 46157]]

associated generators with a combined installed capacity of 400 
kilowatts; (4) a 600-foot-long tailrace; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated average annual generation of the project 
would be 3,500 megawatt-hours that would be conveyed from the 
powerhouse to the grid via a transmission line owned by Consumers 
Energy.
