Lock + Hydro Friends Fund XLVI; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 1, 2014, Lock + Hydro Friends Fund XLVI 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
Hildebrand Lock & Dam Project (Hildebrand Project or project) to be
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Hildebrand Lock
and Dam on the Monongahela River in Monongahela 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 55-
foot-long by 40-foot-high Large Frame Module (LFM); (2) two pre-
fabricated concrete walls if needed; (3) a new 50-foot-wide by 100-
foot-long tailrace; (4) five low-head modular bulb hydroelectric
turbine-generators each rated at 1.5 megawatts; (5) a low-voltage,
36.7-kilovolt (kV) distribution line from the generator to the new
switchyard; (6) a new 25-foot-wide by 50-foot-long switchyard; and (7)
a new 69-kV transmission line approximately 1,000 feet long from the
new switchyard to an existing substation. The estimated annual
generation of the Hildebrand Project would be 66,974 megawatt-hours.
