Commission 

[Project No. 14253–003] 

Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund IV; Notice 

of Successive Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On January 20, 2015, the Lock+ Hydro 

Friends Fund IV filed an application for 

a successive preliminary permit under 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

proposed USACE MSR LD 17 Project 

No. 14253–003, to be located at the 

existing Mississippi River Lock and 

Dam No. 17 on the Mississippi River, 

near the city of New Boston, in Mercer 

County, Illinois and Louisa County, 

Iowa. The Mississippi River Lock and 

Dam No. 17 is owned by the United 

States government and operated by the 

Army Corps of Engineers. 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: (1) Three new 109-foot-wide by 40- 

foot-high steel lock frame modules each 

containing ten 650-kilowatt hydropower 

turbines having a total combined 

generating capacity of 19.5 megawatts; 

(2) one new 109-foot-wide and one new 

220-foot-wide tailrace extending 75–150 

feet downstream; (3) a new 25-foot by 

50-foot switchyard; (4) a new intake 

structure of undetermined size; (5) a 

new 6-mile-long, 69-kilovolt 

transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The project would have an 

estimated annual generation of 119,655 

megawatt-hours.
