On January 28, 2025, Low Head 

Hydro M 18, LLC. filed an application 

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of a 

hydropower project proposed to be 

located at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) Mississippi River 

Lock and Dam 18 in Des Moines 

County, IA, and Henderson County, IL. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed Mississippi River Lock 

and Dam 18 Hydroelectric Project 

would consist of the following: (1) A 

proposed 300-foot by 200-foot masonry 

and steel powerhouse located in 

alignment with the existing Corps’ dam, 

containing four proposed Kaplan bulb 

or Kaplan pit turbines with a total 

capacity of 25.43 megawatts; (2) a 

proposed intake channel of unlined 

earthen excavation approximately 250 

feet long and 300 feet wide, located 

upstream of the turbine bays and 

including a 175-foot-long guide wall 

along the western side of the channel; 

(3) a proposed 850-foot-long and 300- 

foot-wide tailrace area of unlined 

earthen excavation including a 850-footlong guide wall along the western side 

of the channel; (4) a proposed 75-foot by 

75-foot masonry control building 

located on the Iowa shoreline 

containing switchgear, controls, 

communications, and ancillary 

equipment; (5) a proposed 50-foot by 75- 

foot project substation located adjacent 

to the control building containing a 

three-phase step-up transformer with a 

rating between 15 to 25 megawattampere; (6) a 1,600-foot-long and 40- 

foot-wide pedestrian bridge improved 

and extended to provide access to the 

powerhouse along with a proposed 

public park and parking area adjacent to 

the control building; and (7) a proposed 

approx. 2,200-foot-long, 12.5-kilovolt 

(kv) underground transmission line to 

the project substation and a proposed 

approx. 3,600-foot-long, 69-kv 

transmission line from the substation to 

the existing 69-kv Des Moines Drainage 

District Pump substation. The proposed 

project would have an estimated annual 

generation of 126,800 megawatt-hours.
