[Project No. 13135-002]
City of Watervliet; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On July 1, 2011, the City of Watervliet filed an application for a
successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Delta
Hydroelectric Project to be located at Delta Dam on the Mohawk River in
Oneida 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 project would consist of: (1) The existing 1,016-foot-
long, 76-foot-high Delta Dam, owned by the New York State Canal
Corporation, (2) an existing impoundment having a surface area of 2,700
acres and a storage capacity of 63,200 acre-feet and normal water
surface elevation of 550 feet mean sea level, (3) a proposed powerhouse
containing two generating units with a total installed capacity of 5.0
megawatts, (4) a proposed 17,000-foot-long, 13.2-kilovolt underground
generator lead, and (5) appurtenant facilities. The project would have
an annual generation of 14.1 gigawatt hours.
