l. Red River Lock and Dam No. 3: The 

proposed project would utilize the 

Corps’ existing Red River Lock and Dam 

No. 3, and be operated consistent with 

the Corps current operation policy. The 

proposed project consists of: (1) An 

excavated 635-foot-long headrace 

channel to convey water from the 

upstream Pool No. 3 of the Red River to 

a 301-foot-long by 90-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse located southwest of the 

end of the existing spillway; (2) an 

excavated 820-foot-long tailrace channel 

to discharge water from the powerhouse 

to the downstream Pool No. 2 of the Red 

River; (3) a 36.2-megawatt (MW) 

horizontal Kaplan bulb turbine/ 

generator unit; (4) a 2,300-foot-long, 

13.2-kilovolt (kV) overhead 

transmission line which crosses the 

river and connects to a Central 

Louisiana Electric Company substation 

located on the opposite side of the river; 

and (5) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would generate about 

172,779 megawatt-hours (MWh) 

annually, which would be sold to a 

local utility. 

Red River Lock and Dam No. 4: The 

proposed project would utilize the 

Corps’ existing Red River Lock and Dam 

No. 4, and be operated consistent with 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 29, 2012 / Notices 12283 

the Corps current operation policy. The 

proposed project would consist of: (1) 

An excavated 385-foot-long headrace 

channel to convey water from the 

upstream Pool No. 4 of the Red River to 

a 301-foot-long by 90-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse located southwest of the 

end of the existing overflow weir; (2) an 

excavated 477-foot-long tailrace channel 

to discharge water from the powerhouse 

to the downstream Pool No. 3 of the Red 

River; (3) a 28.1–MW horizontal Kaplan 

bulb turbine/generator unit; (4) a 3.0 

mile-long, 34.5-kV overhead 

transmission line leading from a project 

substation located at the project’s 

powerhouse and connecting to Central 

Louisiana Electric Company’s existing 

34.5-kV transmission line; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

project would generate about 128,532 

MWh annually, which would be sold to 

a local utility. 

Red River Lock and Dam No. 5: The 

proposed project would utilize the 

Corps’ existing Red River Lock and Dam 

No. 5, and be operated consistent with 

the Corps current operation policy. The 

proposed project would consist of: (1) 

an excavated 416-foot-long headrace 

channel to convey water from the 

upstream Pool No. 5 of the Red River to 

a 301-foot-long by 90-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse located northeast of the end 

of the existing overflow weir; (2) an 

excavated 495-foot-long tailrace channel 

to discharge water from the powerhouse 

to the downstream Pool No. 4 of the Red 

River; (3) a 28.1–MW horizontal Kaplan 

bulb turbine/generator unit; (4) a 7-milelong, 34.5-kV overhead transmission 

line leading from the project’s 

powerhouse and connecting to Central 

Louisiana Electric Company’s new 

substation; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

generate about 129,400 MWh annually,

o. Scoping Process 

The Commission staff intends to 

prepare a single Environmental 

Assessment (EA), to include all three 

Red River Projects (Red River Lock and 

Dam No. 3 Project No. 12756, Red River 

Lock and Dam No. 4 Project No. 12757, 

and Red River Lock and Dam No. 5 

Project No. 12758), in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

The EA will consider both site-specific 

and cumulative environmental impacts, 

as well as reasonable alternatives to the 

proposed actions. 

Commission staff does not propose to 

conduct any on-site scoping meetings at 

this time. Instead, we are soliciting 

comments, recommendations, and 

information on the Scoping Document 

(SD) issued on February 17, 2012.

areas to be addressed in the EA were 

distributed to the parties on the 

Commission’s mailing list and the 

applicant’s distribution list. Copies of 

the SD may be viewed on the Web at
