Lock + TM Hydro Friends Fund XXVI, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

September 4, 2009.
    On July 6, 2009, Lock + TM Hydro Friends Fund XXVI, LLC, filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Old Geezer Hydroelectric 
Project, to be located on the Fox River, in Outagamie County, 
Wisconsin.
    The proposed Old Geezer Project would be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers Fox River Lower Appleton Dam in Appleton, Wisconsin.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) One new underwater frame 
module containing nine turbines with a total installed capacity of 
about 4.73 megawatts which would be installed in a new concrete conduit 
located adjacent to the Corps' active lock; (2) a new removable lock 
door; (3) a new switchyard, transformer, and control room which would 
be located on the west side of the Corps dam; (4) a new 1000-foot-long, 
36.7 kilovolt transmission line, which would deliver power from the 
turbines to an existing transformer tie-in bus located at the Corps' 
lock and dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The Old Geezer 
Project would have an estimated average annual generation of about 
37,278 megawatts-hours, which would be sold to a local utility.
