Dam on Arkansas River, near the City of
Grady, in Lincoln and Jefferson
counties, Arkansas. 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 Joe Hardin Lock and
Dam Hydroelectric Project would
consist of the following: (1) a 90-footwide, 200–350-foot-long armored intake
channel, upstream of the powerhouse;
(2) a 180-foot-long, 100-foot-wide
concrete powerhouse located
downstream of the existing Corps dam
