FFP Missouri 13, LLC; Grays Hydro, LLC; Notice of Competing
Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, and Motions To Intervene
November 19, 2010.
On May 18, 2010, FFP Missouri 13, LLC and Grays Hydro, LLC filed
applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) Grays Landing Lock & Dam located on the
Monongahela River in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a
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.
Descriptions of the proposed Grays Landing Lock & Dam Projects:
FFP Missouri 13, LLC's project (Project No. 13763-000) would
consist of: (1) An excavated intake channel slightly longer and wider
than the powerhouse; (2) a 140-foot-long, 16-foot-wide, 40-foot-high
proposed powerhouse containing two generating units having a total
installed capacity of 15.0 megawatts (MW); (3) an excavated tailrace
channel slightly longer and wider than the powerhouse; (4) a proposed
7,400-foot-long, 34.0 to 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 47.0
gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
