On May 18, 2010, Lock + Hydro Friends Fund XLVI, FFP Missouri 17, LLC, Solia 3 Hydro, LLC, and Three Rivers Hydro LLC, and on May 19 Hildebrand Hydro, 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 (Corps) Hildebrand Lock & Dam located on the Monongahela River in Monongahela 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.

*Descriptions of the proposed Hildebrand Lock & Dam Projects:*

Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XLVI's project (Project No. 13734-000) would consist of: (1) Two 69-foot-high, 75-foot-long prefabricated concrete walls attached to the downstream side of the Corps dam which would support one frame module; (2) each frame module would be 109 feet long and weigh 1.16 million pounds and contain 10 generating units with a total combined capacity of 20.0 megawatts (MW); (3) a new switchyard containing a transformer; and (4) a proposed 1,000-foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting to an existing substation. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 87.660 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
