FFP Project 132, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On May 20, 2013, FFP Project 132, 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 Allegheny Lock and Dam
7 Hydroelectric Project (Allegheny 7 Project or
project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps)
Allegheny Lock and Dam 7 on the Allegheny River in Armstrong
County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant
[[Page 35020]]
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
forebay 160 feet wide by 160 feet long; (2) a new powerhouse 160 feet
wide by 125 feet long; (3) a new tailrace 160 feet wide by 200 feet
long; (4) new concrete retaining walls upstream of the dam spillway and
downstream of the new powerhouse; (5) three horizontal bulb turbine-
generators each rated at 5.5 megawatts; (6) a 50-megavolt-ampere, 4.16-
kilovolt (kV)/69-kV three-phase step-up transformer; (7) a new
substation 40 feet wide by 40 feet long; and (8) a new 69-kV
transmission line approximately 2.3 miles long from the new substation
to an existing substation. The estimated annual generation of the
Allegheny 7 Project would be 89 gigawatt-hours.
