Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications;
Warrior Hydro, LLC
On January 15, 2024, Warrior Hydro, 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 hydropower project to be
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) William Bacon
Oliver Lock and Dam, on the Black Warrior River, near City of
Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. 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 Oliver Hydropower Project would consist of the
following: (1) a 100-foot-wide, 30-foot-long intake structure, situated
at the southern abutment of the dam that would direct flow from the
river to the turbines; (2) eight submersible, 4.9-foot-diameter
propeller turbines mounted on the upstream face of the abutment, each
connected to a 5-foot-diameter conduit cored through the existing
abutment providing a total installed capacity of 9.6 megawatts; (3) a
140-foot-long, 100-foot-wide tailrace that directs flow to the river
downstream of the dam; (4) a 20-foot long, 10-foot wide building
housing equipment controls and located approximately 800 feet
downstream of the dam; and (5) a 0.9-mile-long, 34.5 kilovolt
transmission line. The proposed project would have an estimated annual
generation of 37,000 megawatt-hours.
