Low Head Hydro M 8, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On October 18, 2024, Low Head Hydro M 8, LLC. filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Mississippi
Lock and Dam 8 Hydroelectric Project (Lock and Dam 8 Project), a
hydropower project proposed to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Mississippi Lock and Dam 8 in Vernon County,
Wisconsin and Houston County, Minnesota. 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 8 Project would consist of the following:
(1) a 275-foot-long, 220-foot-wide intake area located upstream of the
powerhouse; (2) a 220-foot-long and 95-foot-wide powerhouse located
adjacent to the eastern side of the existing Corps dam; (3) ten 0.875-
megawatt (MW) horizontal propeller turbine generators with a combined
net power capacity of 8.75 MW; (4) new power pole and substation
constructed on a raised 150-foot-long by 100-foot-wide platform; (5)
80-foot-long, single overhead three-phase, 69-kilovolt line to the
interconnection point; (6) new 280-foot-long concrete guide wall
constructed along the earthen dike at the powerhouse headrace; (7) new
75-foot-long concrete guide walls constructed at the powerhouse
tailrace; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would
have an estimated annual generation of 46,600 megawatt-hours.
