On May 18, 2010, Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XXXIV, FFP Missouri 5, LLC, and Solia 2 Hydroelectric, LLC, filed applications, and on May 19, 2010, Emsworth Hydro, LLC, filed an application, 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 Emsworth Locks and Dam on the Ohio River near the town of Emsworth, in Allegheny 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.

*Descriptions of the proposed Emsworth Lock and Dam Projects:*

                    Lock+TM                     Hydro Friends Fund XXXIV's proposed project (Project No. 13742-000) would consist of: (1) Two lock frame modules 109 feet long, 40 feet high, and weighing 1.16 million pounds each, and containing 10 generating units having a total combined capacity of 36 megawatts (MW); (2) two 30-foot-high, 75-foot-long prefabricated concrete walls attached to pilings in the river; (3) a 25-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard having a transformer; and (4) a 1,500-foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to an existing substation. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 157.79 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
