BOST1 Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 22, 2024, BOST1 Hydroelectric, LLC 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 proposed Lock and 
Dam No. 14 Hydroelectric Project, a hydropower project proposed to be 
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi Lock 
and Dam 14 located on the Mississippi River, near Hampton, Illinois. 
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 Lock and Dam 14 Hydroelectric Project would consist of 
the following: (1) a 700-foot-long and 300-foot-wide intake area with 
trashracks; (2) a 150-foot-long and 78-foot-wide reinforced concrete 
powerhouse adjacent to the existing Corps dam; (3) three turbine-
generator units each with a rated capacity of 8.0 megawatts (MW), for a 
total installed powerhouse capacity of 24.0 MW; (4) a 150-foot-long 
tailrace; (5) a 2.5-mile-long underground transmission line extending 
from the switchyard adjacent to the powerhouse to the point of 
interconnect with the existing Mid-Atlantic Power 161 kilovolt 
transmission line; and (6) a rockfill dike extending 500 feet upstream 
and a deflection dike extending 900 feet downstream. The proposed 
project would have an estimated annual generation of 153.3 gigawatt-
hours.
