Tivis Branch Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On January 3, 2023, Tivis Branch Hydro, 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 Flannagan
Hydroelectric Project to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Huntington District John W. Flannagan Dam on the
Pound River in Dickenson County, 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 project would consist of the following: (1) new four
0.36-megawatt (MW) turbine-generator units to be placed inside the
Corps' intake tower with a total installed capacity of 1.44 MW; (2) a
new 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide operating space inside the Corps' intake
tower; (3) a new 300-foot-long conduit attached to the access bridge
(which provides access to the Corps' intake tower); (4) a new 15-foot-
long, 15-foot-wide substation pad including a 4.16/12.47-kilovolt (kV)
step-up transformer; (5) a new 300-foot-long, 4.16-kV generator lead to
the
[[Page 31263]]
substation pad; (6) a 30-foot-long, 12.47-kV transmission line
connecting the substation pad to the existing 12.47-kV Appalachian
Power Company's distribution line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The
proposed project would have an annual generation of 8,000 megawatt-
hours.
