[Project No. 15299-000]
LinkPast Solutions, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On January 25, 2023, LinkPast Solutions, Inc., 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 on the
Black River in Jefferson County, New York. 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 Great Mills Hydro Project (Plant #2) would consist of
the following: (1) a new 1,850-foot-long dam (a mix of concrete gravity
dam, earthen dike, and wing walls) at the site of an existing breached
dam; (2) an impoundment with an approximate surface area of 140 acres
and a storage capacity of 850 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of
589.90 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929; (4) a new 90-
foot-long by 65-foot-wide reinforced concrete powerhouse housing two or
more axial flow vertical turbine-generator units with a total installed
capacity of 8 megawatts; (5) additional new DIVE-turbine-generator
(generator directly connected to the turbine shaft that can be
completely submerged) units to utilize flows below the minimum or above
the maximum hydraulic capacities of the main powerhouse; (6) a new 50-
foot-long by 50-foot-wide switchyard; (7) two new access roads, one on
the north and the other on the south shores of the river; (8) a new
0.69-mile-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line; and (9) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual
generation of 40,000 megawatt-hours.
