Eastport Tidal Power LLC; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To
Intervene
September 17, 2010.
On August 9, 2010, Eastport Tidal Power LLC filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Half Moon Cove
Tidal Power Plant Project to be located in Half Moon Cove and Cobscook
Bay, Washington County, Maine. The sole purpose of a
[[Page 59257]]
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 project would consist of: (1) The existing 544-acre
Half Moon Cove; (2) a new 410-foot-long and a new 115-foot-long
impervious core, sand, and gravel embankments; (3) a new 860-foot-long
concrete modular wall panel extending about 11 feet above mean sea
level consisting of: (a) New concrete support columns; (b) a new
filling and emptying gated section; (c) a new boat lift; and (d) a new
powerhouse with four reversible bulb generating units with a total
capacity of 20 megawatts; and (4) a new 34.5 kilovolt, 7.1-mile-long
transmission line. The project would produce an estimated average
annual generation of about 52,500 megawatt-hours.
