The Federal Register reported May 10 that a preliminary permit has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a hydropower project proposed by Dashields Hydro-power Corporation for installation at Dashields Lock and Dam on the Ohio River at Corapolis, Pa. Dashields is a fixed-crest dam with two locks, the larger one for commercial traffic at 600 feet long and an auxiliary lock for recreational traffic that is half that size. Dashields Hydropower Corporation filed its application on November 2, 2022, for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the project's feasibility. A preliminary permit, just one step in a long process, grants the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. |
