the feasibility of the Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 6 Water Power 
Project (Lock & Dam 6 Project), to be located at River Mile 714.3 on

21,817-acre reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 645.5 feet mean sea 
level and 31,200 acre-feet of storage.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) 30 Very Low Head (VHL) 
generating units and 70 hydrokinetic generating units totaling 11.0 
megawatts (MW) installed capacity; (2) a new 69-kilovolt transmission 
line connected to an existing above ground local distribution system; 
and (3) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated 
average annual generation of 55,900 megawatt-hours.
