proposing to study the feasibility of a
hydropower project located at the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)

express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following: (1) A 100-foot-wide, 175foot-long forebay channel; (2) a
powerhouse, located on the north end of
the dam, containing two generating
units with a total capacity of 42.0
megawatts; (3) a 1,750-foot-long, 140foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 1.8-mile-long,
115.0 kilo-volt transmission line. The
proposed project would have an average
annual generation of 191.6 gigawatthours (GWh), and operate run-of-river
utilizing surplus water from the
Demopolis Lock & Dam, as directed by
the Corps.
