On May 18, 2010, at 8:30 a.m., the Commission received three preliminary permit applications for proposed projects to be located at the Morgantown Lock & Dam located on the Monongahela River in Monongahela County, West Virginia.1The applications were filed by FFP Missouri 15, LLC, for Project No. 13762-000, Morgantown Hydro, LLC, for Project No. 13773-000, and Three Rivers Hydro, LLC, for Project No. 13784-000.
Footnotes:
1 The Commission is open each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. 18 CFR 375.101(c) (2010). The applications were filed between 5 p.m. on Monday May 17, 2010, and 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday May 18, 2010. Under the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, any document received after regular business hours is considered filed at 8:30 a.m. on the next regular business day. 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(2) (2010).
Where all permit applicants are municipalities or all permit applicants are non-municipalities, and no applicant's plans are better adapted than the others' to develop, conserve, and utilize in the public interest the water resources of a region, the Commission issues a permit to the applicant who filed first in time.2In this case, because three applications from entities not claiming municipal preference are deemed filed at the same time, the Commission will conduct a random tie breaker to determine priority. In the event that the Commission concludes that no applicant's plans are better adapted than the others, priority will be determined accordingly.
