          - [Project No. 15375-000]

On October 10, 2024, Kram Hydro 10, 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 Mississippi Lock and Dam #20 Hydroelectric Project (Lock and Dam #20 Project), a hydropower project proposed to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi Lock and Dam located on the Mississippi River near Lima Township, Illinois, in Adams County, 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 #20 Project would consist of the following: (1) a 300-foot-long, 120-foot-wide intake area located upstream of the powerhouse; (2) a 125-foot-long and 125-foot-wide powerhouse located adjacent to the eastern side of the existing dam; (3) two identical 20.0-megawatt (MW) Kaplan pit turbine generators with a combined net power capacity of 40.0 MW; (4) 9.4-mile-long, single overhead three- phase, 138-kilovolt line to the interconnection point; (5) new concrete guide walls constructed upstream and downstream of the powerhouse; (6) a 125-foot-wide, 150-foot-long unlined earthen excavation tailrace area; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 252.8 gigawatt hours.
