[Project No. 14838-000]
Energy Resources USA, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To
Intervene
On February 9, 2017, Energy Resources USA Inc., (Energy Resources)
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 Caddo Dam Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located at the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' Caddo Dam on the Cypress Bayou in Caddo Parish
County, Louisiana. 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 70-foot-
long, 60-foot-wide intake area; (2) a 75-foot-long, 36-foot-wide
powerhouse containing two vertical Kaplan generating units with a total
capacity of 5 megawatts; (3) a 350-foot-long, 65-foot-wide tailrace;
(4) a 60-foot-long, 50-foot-wide substation; and (5) a 0.35-mile-long,
69 kilovolt transmission line. The estimated annual generation of the
project would be 21.15 gigawatt-hours, and would operate as directed by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
