Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Milton Three Ponds Dam Hydropower Project (project) to be located on

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 156-foot-
long, 19-foot-high Milton stone masonry and concrete gravity Three
Ponds Dam equipped with an electronically controlled Obermeyer crest
gate, two motor-driven outlet gates, and twenty stoplog bays; (2) an
existing 1,400-acre

impoundment that includes Milton Pond, Northeast Pond, and Town House
Pond with a normal maximum pool elevation of 413.87 feet National
