The City of Marseilles, Illinois (City) and the Marseilles Land and Water Company (Land and Water Company) have filed applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of projects on the North and South Head Races of the Illinois River in La Salle County, Illinois. The proposed projects would use the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Marseilles Lock and Dam.
On March 31, 2008, the City filed an application, Project No. 13159, for the proposed Marseilles Hydroelectric Start Printed Page 270Project for surplus power production at the North Head Race. The proposed project would utilize the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Marseilles Lock and Dam, and install additional incremental capacity to a previously existing licensed project, Project No. 12020. The proposed project would consist of: (1) The existing 2,730-foot-long, 80 to 200-foot-wide North Head Race; (2) an existing powerhouse containing four new generating units having a total installed capacity of 5 megawatts; (3) a proposed 400-foot-long, 34-kilovolt transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The City's proposed Marseilles Hydroelectric Project for surplus power production at the North Head Race would have an average annual generation of 22.03 gigawatt-hours.
On May 20, 2008, the City filed a second application, Project No. 13230, for the proposed Marseilles Hydroelectric Project for power production at the North Head Race. The proposed project would utilize the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Marseilles Lock and Dam, and generate the now-available capacity from the recently terminated license in Project No. 12020. The project would consist of: (1) The existing 2,730-foot-long, 80-to 200-foot-wide North Head Race; (2) an existing powerhouse containing six new generating units having a total installed capacity of 4.745 megawatts; (3) a proposed 400-foot-long, 34-kilovolt transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The City's proposed Marseilles Hydroelectric Project for power production at the North Head Race would have an average annual generation of 37 gigawatt-hours.
On May 20, 2008, Land and Water Company filed an application, Project No. 13231, for the proposed Boyce Hydro-Marseilles Hydroelectric Project. The proposed project would utilize the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Marseilles Lock and Dam, and would consist of: (1) The existing 3,100-foot-long, 200-foot-wide North Head Race; (2) a proposed powerhouse containing three new generating units having a total installed capacity of 9.4 megawatts; (3) the existing 110-foot-wide south channel that narrows to approximately 50-feet-wide at the South Head Race; (4) a proposed 400-foot-long, 34-kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed Boyce Hydro-Marseilles Hydroelectric Project would have an average annual generation of 55 gigawatt-hours. Land and Water Company's proposed development competes with the two permit applications filed by the City.
