[Project No. 14865-000]
Watterra Energy, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On November 29, 2017, Watterra Energy, 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 the Sutton Dam
Hydroelectric Project to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Sutton Dam, on the Elk River, in Sutton, 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 project would consist of the following: (1) A new 70-
foot-long, 55-foot-wide powerhouse containing three turbine-generator
units with a total rated capacity of 14 megawatts; (2) a new multiple-
port intake structure to be located at the upstream face of the Sutton
dam; (3) a new 300-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter steel penstock; (4) a
new 50-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard; (5) a new 13.8-kilovolt,
500-foot-long transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The
proposed project would have an annual generation of 47,200 megawatt-
hours.
