          - [Project No. 13416-000]

On March 30, 2009, Gunderson Lutheran Hydro LLC filed an application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 7 (Lock & Dam 7 Project), to be located at River Mile 702.5 on the Mississippi River in Winona County, Minnesota, and La Crosse, Wisconsin, and near the town of La Crescent, MN.

The proposed Lock & Dam 7 Project would be integral with the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Lock & Dam No. 7 which is comprised of a 940-foot-long gated dam section with 5 roller gates and 11 Taintor gates, a 600 foot-long lock, and a 8,100-foot-long earth dike. The Corps project reservoir occupies a portion of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.

The proposed hydro project would consist of: (1) 7 uni-directional turbines installed in an auxiliary lock with generators having a total installed capacity of 4,963 kilowatts (kW); (2) a new transformer; and (3) a new 500-foot-long transmission line to an existing above ground local distribution system. The project would have an estimated average annual generation of 41.33 gigawatt-hours.
