Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XX, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On March 1, 2019, Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XX, 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 Blue Marsh Dam Hydropower Project to be located at the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Blue Marsh Dam on the Tulpehocken Creek in
Berks 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.
The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new 30-
foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 160-foot-high Large Frame Module; (2) two
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 1.75 megawatts;
(3) a new 4-foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 3-foot-high pad-mounted
transformer; (4) a new 1,650-foot-long, 13-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the new transformer to an existing distribution line; and
(5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an annual
generation of 7,750 megawatt-hours.
