[Project No. 15375-000]
Kram Hydro 10, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On October 10, 2024, Kram Hydro 10, 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 proposed Mississippi
Lock and Dam #20 Hydroelectric Project (Lock and Dam #20 Project), a
hydropower project proposed to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi Lock and Dam located on the Mississippi
River near Lima Township, Illinois, in Adams County, Illinois. 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 Lock and Dam #20 Project would consist of the
following: (1) a 300-foot-long, 120-foot-wide intake area located
upstream of the powerhouse; (2) a 125-foot-long and 125-foot-wide
powerhouse located adjacent to the eastern side of the existing dam;
(3) two identical 20.0-megawatt (MW) Kaplan pit turbine generators with
a combined net power capacity of 40.0 MW; (4) 9.4-mile-long, single
overhead three- phase, 138-kilovolt line to the interconnection point;
(5) new concrete guide walls constructed upstream and downstream of the
powerhouse; (6) a 125-foot-wide, 150-foot-long unlined earthen
excavation tailrace area; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual generation of 252.8 gigawatt
hours.
