Maynard Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On June 3, 2025, Maynard 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 a hydropower project
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Colonel
Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam, on the Arkansas River, Jeffersons
County, 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 Colonel Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam Hydroelectric
Project would consist of the following: (1) a 150-foot-wide, 100-foot-
long armored intake structure; (2) a 150-foot-wide, 200-foot-long
reinforced concrete powerhouse located adjacent to southwestern
abutment within the spillway, containing three identical pit turbine
generators with a combined net capacity of 25.7-megawatt; (3) a 150-
foot-long, 150-foot-wide dredged tailrace channel; (4) an existing
abutment wall that would be reinforced as a retaining wall to allow
access from the powerhouse to the equipment access tower, and (4) a
1.25 mile-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line. The proposed project
would have an estimated annual generation of 171.75 gigawatt-hours.
