William B. Ruger, Jr.; Notice of Existing Licensee's Failure To
File Notice of Intent To File a Subsequent License Application
By April 30, 2016, William B. Ruger, Jr., the existing licensee for
the Sugar River II Project No. 10934 was required to file a notice of
intent to file an application for a subsequent license. The existing
license for Project No. 10934 expires on April 30, 2021.
The 200-kilowatt (kW) project is located on the Sugar River in
Sullivan County, New Hampshire. No federal lands are affected.
The principal project works consist of: (1) A 44-foot-long, 10-
foot-high concrete dam; (2) a 1.4-acre impoundment; (3) a rectangular
intake; (4) a 650-foot-long, 7-foot diameter steel penstock; (5) a
powerhouse containing one 200-kW turbine-generator unit; (6) a 75-foot-
long transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities.
Pursuant to section 16.19(b) of the Commission's regulations, an
existing licensee with a minor license or a license for a minor part of
a hydroelectric project must file a notice of intent pursuant to
section 16.6(b).
Pursuant to section 16.6(b) of the Commission's regulations, in
order to notify the Commission whether or not a licensee intends to
file an application for new license, the licensee must file with the
Commission a letter that contains an unequivocal statement of the
licensee's intention to file or not to file an application for a new
license.
William B. Ruger, Jr. has not filed a notice of intent to file an
application for a subsequent license for this project.
Pursuant to section 16.23(b) of the Commission's regulations, an
existing licensee of a water power project that fails to file a notice
of intent pursuant to section 16.6(b) shall be deemed to have filed a
notice of intent indicating that it does not intend to file an
application for subsequent license.
Pursuant to section 16.20 of the Commission's regulations,
applications for subsequent license (except from the existing licensee
which is prohibited from filing) must be filed with the Commission at
least 24 months prior to the expiration of the existing license.
Applications for license for this project must be filed by April 30,
2019. Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Steve
Kartalia at (202) 502-6131 or [email protected].
Dated: May 9, 2016.
