Rye Sutton Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On June 6, 2022, Rye Sutton Hydroelectric, 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
hydropower at the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Sutton
Dam located on the Elk River in 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 Sutton Dam Hydroelectric Project would consist of the
following: (1) a new 40-foot-wide, 60-foot-long powerhouse to be
located downstream of the Corps dam along the southern bank; (2) a new
multiple-port intake structure against the upstream face of the dam;
(3) a new 12-foot-diameter, approximately 300-foot-long steel penstock;
(4) two turbine-generator units with a total generating capacity of 6
megawatts; (5) a new 100-foot-wide by 300-foot-long tailrace; (6) a new
substation with a step-up transformer; (7) a new 550-foot-long, 12-
kilovolt transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The
proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 24,000
megawatt-hours.
