One Drop Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On November 23, 2020, One Drop Hydro, LLC, filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Manville Dam Project
(project), on the Blackstone River in Providence County, Rhode Island.
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) An existing 246-foot-
long, 18-foot-high stone masonry, arch-gravity dam with a crest
elevation of 105.72 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD
88); (2) an existing impoundment with a surface area of 2.83 acres and
a total storage capacity of 45.45-acre-feet at a surface elevation of
106.22 feet NAVD 88; (3) two new 125-kilowatt (kW) Siphon Kaplan
turbine-generator units for a total installed capacity of 250 kW; (4) a
new transformer and 528-foot-long, 13-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the turbine-generator units to the regional grid; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Manville
Dam Project would be 1,839 megawatt-hours.
