Free Flow Power Iowa 1, LLC; Notice of Successive Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On January 2, 2013, Free Flow Power Iowa 1, LLC (FFP Iowa) 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 Mississippi Lock and Dam 12 Water Power Project (Mississippi L+D 12 Project or project) to be located at the existing U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 12 on the Mississippi River near the City of Bellevue, Jackson County, Iowa. 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 new facilities: (1) A powerhouse located at the east end of the movable section of the dam and containing six horizontal bulb turbines with a total nameplate capacity of 17.06 megawatts; (2) a 69-kilovolt, 4,940-foot-long overhead transmission line connecting the project generation with Alliant Energy transmission facilities; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The majority of the project would be located on lands owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The estimated annual generation of the Mississippi L+D 12 Project would be 85.4 gigawatt-hours.
