[Project No. 15344-000]
Kram Hydro 4, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On February 15, 2024, Kram Hydro 4, 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)
Saylorville Locks and Dam near the City of Des Moines, Polk County,
Iowa. 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 Saylorville Hydroelectric Project would consist of the
following: (1) a proposed 90-foot-long, 30-foot-wide intake channel
near the west bank of the existing Corps' dam; (2) a proposed 2,100-
foot-long and 20-foot-diameter steel penstock extending from the intake
to a proposed powerhouse; (3) a proposed 70-foot-long, 120-foot-wide
reinforced concrete powerhouse, located downstream of the existing
Corps' dam, containing two Kaplan pit turbine-generators with a total
capacity of 10.0 megawatts; (4) an existing tailrace channel used to
convey flows back to the Des Moines River downstream of the Corps dam's
discharge channel; (5) a proposed 13.8 kilovolt-ampere substation
located adjacent to the proposed powerhouse; and (6) a proposed 13.8
kilovolt, 7,000-foot-long 3-phase overhead transmission line connecting
the substation to the grid. The proposed project would have an
estimated annual generation of 52,000 megawatt-hours.
