          - [Project No. 15267-000]

On March 21, 2022, Allegheny Hydro Group Lock and Dam 4, 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' (Corps) Allegheny River Lock and Dam 4 located on the Allegheny River in Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties, 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 Allegheny Lock and Dam 4 Hydropower Project would consist of the following: (1) A new 90-foot-wide, 150-foot-long reinforced concrete powerhouse to be located downstream of the Corps dam along the eastern bank; (2) a new 90-foot-wide, 150-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 125-foot-long tailrace; (5) a new 30-foot-wide by 60-foot-long substation with a three-phase step-up transformer; (6) a new 300-foot-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 43,000 megawatt-hours.
