Page 27771

Hydroelectric Project, located on the Mississippi River, in Jo Daviess

County, 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 project would consist of: (1) The powerhouse; (2) installation of four 6 megawatt bulb turbines; (3) a proposed 5-mile- long, 69-kilovolt transmission line; (4) switchyard; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed Mississippi River Lock and Dam 12 Hydroelectric Project would have an average annual generation of 109.6 gigawatt-hours.
