FFP Project 10, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On March 3, 2014, FFP Project 10, 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
4 Hydroelectric Project (Allegheny 4 Project or
project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps)
Allegheny Lock and Dam 4 on the Allegheny River in Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania. 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 150-
foot-wide by 200-foot-long intake; (2) a new 150-foot-wide by 200-foot-
long powerhouse; (3) a new 150-foot-wide by 300-foot-long tailrace; (4)
new 250-foot-long and 150-foot-long concrete retaining walls upstream
of the new intake and downstream of the new powerhouse, respectively;
(5) three horizontal Kaplan turbine-generators each rated at 5
megawatts; (6) a 20-megavolt-ampere, 4.16-kilovolt (kV)/69-kV three-
phase step-up transformer; (7) a new 40-foot-wide by 40-foot-long
substation; and (8) a new 69-kV transmission line approximately 1,630
feet long from the new substation to an existing substation. The
estimated annual generation of the Allegheny 4 Project would
be 89 gigawatt-hours.
