Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XVI, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 1, 2019, Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XVI, 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 
Crooked Creek Dam Hydropower Project to be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Crooked Creek Dam on Crooked Creek in 
Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. 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 30-
foot-wide, 30-foot-deep, 160-foot-tall modular frame structure to be 
installed at the intake for the outlet pipe adjacent to the outlet 
tower, containing two turbine-generator units with a rated capacity of 
1,450 kilowatts each; (2) a new switchgear and control room located in 
the modular structure; and (3) a new 13-kilovolt transmission line 
connecting the modular structure with a nearby existing electrical 
grid. The proposed project would have an annual generation of 12,750 
megawatt-hours.
