Lock Hydro Friends Fund I; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On March 4, 2011, Lock Hydro 

Friends Fund I, filed an application, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of hydropower at the City of 

Austin’s Longhorn Dam located on the 

Lower Colorado River in Travis County, 

Texas. 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: (1) The existing 506-footlong, 36-foot-high Longhorn dam; (2) the 

existing reservoir with a surface area of 

525.0 acres and a storage capacity of 

6,000 acre-feet; (3) two prefabricated 

concrete walls attached to the 

downstream side of the dam which 

would support one power stack, also 

known as, a frame module; (4) the frame
