Rye Bailey Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On June 6, 2022, Rye Bailey Hydroelectric, 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
hydropower at the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) R.D.
Bailey Dam located on the Guyandotte River in Mingo and Wyoming
Counties, 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.
The proposed R.D. Bailey Hydroelectric Project would consist of the
following: (1) a new 40-foot-wide, 60-foot-long powerhouse to be
located downstream of the Corps dam along the northern bank; (2) a new
concrete bifurcation chamber at the end of an existing conduit to
divide flows between the stilling basin and the powerhouse; (3) a new
15-foot-diameter penstock approximately 50 feet long; (4) two turbine-
generator units with a total generating capacity of 8 megawatts; (5) a
new 100-foot-wide by 400-foot-long tailrace; (6) a new substation with
a step-up transformer; (7) a new 2.5-mile-long, 46-kilovolt
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project
would have an estimated annual generation of 30,000 megawatt-hours.
