Kram Hydro 1, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On September 25, 2023, Kram Hydro 1, 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 a hydropower project
proposed to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Joe
Hardin Lock and Dam on Arkansas River, near the City of Grady, in
Lincoln and Jefferson counties, Arkansas. 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 Joe Hardin Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project would
consist of the following: (1) a 90-foot-wide, 200-350-foot-long armored
intake channel, upstream of the powerhouse; (2) a 180-foot-long, 100-
foot-wide concrete powerhouse located downstream of the existing Corps
dam
[[Page 13073]]
on the south bank, housing two identical Kaplan turbine-generator
units, with a combined generating capacity of 20.0 megawatts; (3) a
200-foot-long, 100-foot wide unlined tailrace; (4) a 300-foot-long
concrete retaining wall to be constructed downstream of the powerhouse;
and (5) a 6-mile-long, 115 kilovolt transmission line. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual generation of 127 gigawatt-
hours.
