Take notice that the following
hydroelectric application has been filed
with the Commission and is available
for public inspection.
a. Type of Application: New Major
License.
b. Project No.: 13160–002.
c. Date Filed: July 29, 2011.
d. Applicant: Red River Hydro LLC
(Red River), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Symbiotics LLC.
e. Name of Project: Overton Lock and
Dam Hydroelectric Project.
f. Location: The project would be
located on the Red River in Rapides
Parish, Louisiana at an existing lock and
dam owned and operated by the U.S.
Corps of Engineers (Corps). The project
would occupy 42.5 acres of federal
lands managed by the Corps.
g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power
Act, 16 USC 791(a)–825(r).
h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Brent L.
Smith, Chief Operating Officer,
Symbiotics LLC 371 Upper Terrace,
Suite 2, Bend, OR 97702; Telephone
(541)-330–8779.
i. FERC Contact: Lesley Kordella,
(202) 502–6406 or
Lesley.Kordella@ferc.gov.
j. This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
k. The Project Description: The
project would be located at an existing
lock and dam owned and operated by
the Corps-Vicksburg District. The
existing lock and dam are part of the J.
Bennett Johnston Waterway, which was
authorized by Congress in 1968 to
stabilize river banks, straighten river
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
bends, and maintain a 9-foot-deep, 200foot-wide channel for boat traffic. The
waterway consists of five locks and
dams and a number of cutoffs to shorten
the river.
The existing Overton dam is a
concrete gravity structure that is 104
feet in height and 914 feet in length. The
spillway consists of five 60-foot-wide
Tainter gates. The navigation lock is 84
feet wide by 685 feet long. The purpose
of the lock and dam system is
navigation and not storage. The upper
pool above the dam is commonly
referred to as ‘‘Pool 2’’. The Corps
maintains the upper pool at an elevation
of 64 feet. Pool 2 has a surface area of
approximately 3,750 acres and a storage
capacity of approximately 67,500 acrefeet.
The proposed Overton Lock and Dam
Project would consist of: (1) A
powerhouse located on the southwest
bank of the river at the existing dam’s
right abutment; (2) a headrace; (3) a
tailrace; (4) a new switchyard; (5) 3.9
miles of 138-kilovolt (kV) above-ground
transmission line; (6) three turbinegenerator units for a combined installed
capacity of 78 megawatts; and (7)
appurtenant facilities. The projected
annual energy generation would be
255.7 gigawatt hours.
The project would operate in a run-ofrelease mode utilizing releases from
Pool 2 as they are dictated by the Corps,
with no proposed change to the Corps’
facility operation. In addition, no
changes to the reservoir pool elevations
or downstream river flows are proposed.
The project would generate power using
flows between 2,700 cfs (cubic feet per
second) and 49,800 cfs. If flows are less
than 2,700 cfs, all flow would go
through the Corps’ gates and the project
would then be offline. When flows are
greater than 49,800 cfs, the excess flow
would be directed through the Corps
gates.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
