holder to perform any land disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.
The proposed Wilson Hydrokinetic
Project consists of: (1) 10 proposed 35
kilowatt axial flow turbine generating
units having a total installed capacity of
350 kilowatts; (2) a 700-foot-long, 13.2
kilovolt transmission line; and (3)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed
Wilson Hydrokinetic Project would
