Permit Application Accepted; No Construction
FERC accepted a preliminary permit application from Kram Hydro 10, LLC for a proposed Lock and Dam #20 hydropower project that would include two 20.0-megawatt (MW) turbines (40.0 MW total) and an estimated annual generation of 252.8 gigawatt hours. A preliminary permit, if issued, only gives the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term and does not authorize any land‑disturbing activities or entry onto lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
