the feasibility of the Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 7 Water Power 
Project (Lock & Dam 7 Project), to be located at River Mile 702.5 on 
the Mississippi River in Winona County, Minnesota, and La Crosse,

an existing 21-square-mile reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 
639.0 feet mean sea level and 79,000 acre-feet of storage.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) 25 Very Low Head (VHL) 
generating units and 75 hydrokinetic generating units totaling 14.5 
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 73,600 megawatt-hours.
