Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXV; FFP Missouri 7, LLC; Dashields Hydro, LLC; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, and Motions To Intervene
November 15, 2010.
On May 18, 2010, Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXV, FFP Missouri 7, LLC, and Dashields Hydro, LLC filed applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dashields Lock & Dam located on the Ohio River in Alleghany 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 have an average annual generation of 43.83 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
