BOST1 Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 22, 2024, BOST1 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 the proposed Lock and
Dam No. 14 Hydroelectric Project, a hydropower project proposed to be
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi Lock
and Dam 14 located on the Mississippi River, near Hampton, Illinois.
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 Lock and Dam 14 Hydroelectric Project would consist of
the following: (1) a 700-foot-long and 300-foot-wide intake area with
trashracks; (2) a 150-foot-long and 78-foot-wide reinforced concrete
powerhouse adjacent to the existing Corps dam; (3) three turbine-
generator units each with a rated capacity of 8.0 megawatts (MW), for a
total installed powerhouse capacity of 24.0 MW; (4) a 150-foot-long
tailrace; (5) a 2.5-mile-long underground transmission line extending
from the switchyard adjacent to the powerhouse to the point of
interconnect with the existing Mid-Atlantic Power 161 kilovolt
transmission line; and (6) a rockfill dike extending 500 feet upstream
and a deflection dike extending 900 feet downstream. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual generation of 153.3 gigawatt-
hours.
