On March 1, 2019, Lock+TM Hydro
Friends Fund XIX, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit,

Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the Tioga Dam
Hydropower Project to be located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)
Tioga Dam on the Tioga River in Tioga
County, Pennsylvania. 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
the following: (1) A new 30-foot-long,
30-foot-wide, 160-foot-high Large Frame
Module; (2) two turbine-generator units
with a total rated capacity of 2.2
megawatts; (3) a new 4-foot-long, 4-footwide, 3-foot-high pad-mounted
transformer; (4) a new 200-foot-long, 13kilovolt transmission line connecting
the new transformer to an existing
distribution line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would
have an annual generation of 9,700
megawatt-hours.
