[Project No. 14818-000]
Watterra Energy, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To Intervene
On January 17, 2017, Watterra Energy, 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 Green River Lake Dam
Hydroelectric Project (project), to be located at the existing U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' Green River Lake Dam on the Green River near
the City of Campbellsville, Taylor County, Kentucky. The sole purpose
of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application
[[Page 22136]]
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 706-
foot-long, 8-foot-diameter steel penstock lining the existing concrete
conduit; (2) an 8-foot-long, 8-foot-wide bifurcation structure attached
to the proposed penstock, with one branch extending to the proposed
powerhouse, and the other branch providing an outlet point for the
release of floodwaters; (3) a 70-foot-long, 55-foot-wide powerhouse
containing two Francis generating units with a total capacity of 10.6
megawatts; (4) a 55-foot-long, 70-foot-wide switchyard; and (5) a
21,900-foot-long, 12.7 kilovolt transmission line. The estimated annual
generation of the project would be 48.6 gigawatt-hours, and would
operate as directed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
