Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of 
the Melvin Price Dam Hydropower Project to be located on the 
Mississippi River and near the city of Alton, Illinois, in St. Charles 
County, Missouri. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued,

enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express 
permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 300-
foot-long by 40-foot-wide reinforced concrete headrace; (2) a 300-foot-
long by 40-foot-wide by 50-foot-high submersible reinforced concrete 
powerhouse containing ten 10-megawatt (MW) turbines; (3) ten 
submersible 10-MW generators rated at 6.9 kilovolts (kV) or 13 kV; (4) 
50-foot-wide by 300-foot-long draft tubes; (5) 40-foot-wide by 300-
foot-long reinforced concrete tailrace; (6) a 25-foot by 50-foot 
switchyard; (7) a 3-mile-long, 34 (kV) or 69 kV transmission line 
connecting to an existing transmission system; and (8) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Melvin Price Dam 
Hydropower Project would be 438,000 megawatt-hours.
