Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XIX, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 2, 2013, Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XIX, 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 a
hydropower project to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
(Corps) Claiborne Lock & Dam on the Alabama River near the town of
Monroeville in Monroe County, Alabama. 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 concrete
lined intake channel with a trash rack system; (2) a 166.5-foot-long,
165.2-foot-wide powerhouse containing two generating units with a total
capacity of 22 megawatts; (3) a 250-foot-long, 165-foot-wide tailrace;
(4) a 13.8/115 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 5.5-mile-long, 69kV
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual
generation of 145,850 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the
Corps.
