[Project No. 14865-000]


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

    On November 29, 2017, Watterra Energy, LLC, 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 Sutton Dam 
Hydroelectric Project to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers' (Corps) Sutton Dam, on the Elk River, in Sutton, Braxton 
County, West Virginia. 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 the following: (1) A new 70-
foot-long, 55-foot-wide powerhouse containing three turbine-generator 
units with a total rated capacity of 14 megawatts; (2) a new multiple-
port intake structure to be located at the upstream face of the Sutton 
dam; (3) a new 300-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter steel penstock; (4) a 
new 50-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard; (5) a new 13.8-kilovolt, 
500-foot-long transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed project would have an annual generation of 47,200 megawatt-
hours.
