    On November 24, 2008, FFP Kansas 1 LLC d/b/a FFP Lock & Dam No. 9 
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. 9 Water Power Project (Lock & Dam 9 Project), to be located 
at River Mile 647.9 on the Mississippi River in Allamakee County, Iowa, 
and Crawford, Wisconsin, and near the town of Lynxville, WI. Also, the 
reservoir runs through a portion of the Upper Mississippi River 
National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
    The proposed Lock & Dam 9 Project would be integral with: (1) The 
existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lock & Dam No. 9 comprised of an 
811-foot-long gated dam section with 5 roller gates and 8 tainter 
gates, and a 600 foot-long lock, and; (2) an existing 17-mile-long 
reservoir extending from River Mile 648 to River Mile 679 at a normal 
pool elevation of 620.0 feet mean sea level.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) 25 Very Low Head (VHL) 
generating units and 50 hydrokinetic generating units totaling 13.4 
megawatts (MW) installed capacity; (2) a new 69-kilovolt transmission 
line connected to an existing above ground local distribution system; 
and (3) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated 
average annual generation of 68,400 megawatt-hours.
