Lock Hydro 10 Partners; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On April 28, 2023, Lock Hydro 10 Partners filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project
located on the Kentucky River, in Clark and Madison Counties, Kentucky.
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 Boonesborough Hydroelectric Project would consist of
the following: (1) an existing 250-foot-long, 35-foot-high concrete
lock and dam; (2) an existing 26.4-mile-long, 596-acre reservoir having
a total capacity of 5,960-acre-feet; (3) a proposed 28-foot-wide, 52-
foot-long, 49-foot-high powerhouse built into the abandoned lock
containing six Voith StreamDiver submersible turbine/generating units
for a total installed capacity of 3.012 megawatts; (4) a proposed 20-
foot-wide, 42-foot-long control building on the adjacent shore; and (5)
a proposed 800-foot-long, 14.0 kilovolt transmission line. The project
is estimated to generate an average of 14,000 megawatt-hours annually.
The existing lock and dam are owned by the Kentucky River Authority.
