Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications:
Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XV, LLC
On March 1, 2019, Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XV, 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
Francis Walter Dam Hydropower Project to be located at the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Francis Walter Dam on the Lehigh River in
Luzerne 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
2,400 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 20,000
megawatt-hours.
