          - [Project No. 15262-000]

      ( print page 16182)    
On February 9, 2022, CW Bill Young Hydropower Group, Inc., filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower at the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' C.W. Bill Young Lock and Dam located on the Allegheny River 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.

The proposed CW Bill Young Lock and Dam Hydropower Project would consist of the following: (1) A new 90-foot-wide, 150-foot-long reinforced concrete powerhouse to be located downstream along the northern bank; (2) a new 90-foot-wide, 100- to 200-foot-long forebay intake area enclosed by reinforced concrete walls; (3) two 5-megawatt (MW) turbine-generator units with a total generating capacity of 10 MW; (4) a new 90-foot-wide by 150-foot-long tailrace; (5) a new 60-foot-long by 50-foot-wide substation with a three-phase step-up transformer; (6) a new 6,200-foot-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 52,000 megawatt-hours.
