Competing Applications
On August 2, 2021, Pike Island Hydropower Corporation filed a
preliminary permit application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project
at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Pike Island Lock and Dam,
located on the Ohio River near the City of Wheeling, West Virginia. On
August 13, 2021, Pike Island Hydropower Project, LLC filed a
preliminary permit application to study the feasibility of a hydropower
project, at same site and location, on the same river, near Wheeling,
West Virginia. 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.
Pike Island Hydropower Corporation's Pike Island Locks and Dam
Hydroelectric Project (Project No. 15230-000) would consist of: (1)
160-foot-wide by 100 to 200-foot-long intake section containing
trashracks; (2) a new 160-foot-wide by 160-foot-long concrete
powerhouse containing two, three, or four identical Kaplan pit turbine-
generators with a combined net power capacity of 20 megawatts (MW); (3)
a new 160-foot-wide, 300-foot-long tailrace channel downstream of the
powerhouse. The height of the proposed powerhouse and intake structure
would be 658 feet above mean sea level (msl); (4) a new 200-foot-wide
by 200-foot-long substation; (5) a new 1.4-mile-long, 69 kilovolt (kV),
three phase overhead transmission line connecting the project
substation with an existing substation in Tiltonsville, OH; and (6)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated average annual energy production
is 151 Gigawatt-hours (``GWh'').
