Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February19, 2021, Ohio Power and Light, LLC. filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Robert C. 
Byrd Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project to be located on the Ohio 
River, near the Town of Gallipolis, in Gallia County, Ohio, and Mason 
County, West Virginia. 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 utilize the impoundment formed by the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers R.C. Byrd Locks and Dam and consist of the 
following: (1) A new 150-foot-long by 250-foot-wide concrete-walled 
intake/forebay structure; (2) a new 250-foot-wide by 170-foot-long 
concrete powerhouse containing four 5.75-megawatt (MW) pit turbine-
generators for a total project capacity of 21.1 MW; (3) a new 300-foot-
long by 300-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a new 60-foot-long by 60-foot-wide 
substation; (5) a new 2.41-mile-long, 138-kilovolt transmission line.; 
and (6) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the 
Robert C. Byrd Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project would be 165,000 
megawatt-hours.
