Energy Resources USA Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted For Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On September 2, 2015, the Energy Resources USA Inc. filed an 
application for a preliminary permit under section 4(f) of the Federal 
Power Act proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Lock and 
Dam No.22 Hydroelectric Project No. 14710-000, to be located at the 
existing Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 22 on the Mississippi 
River, near the City of Hannibal, in Ralls County, Missouri and Pike 
County, Illinois. The Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 22 is owned by 
the United States government and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) A new 770-foot-long by 
300-foot-wide earthen intake area; (2) a new 220-foot by 90-foot 
reinforced concrete powerhouse containing four 2-megawatt Kaplan 
hydropower turbine-generators having a total combined generating 
capacity of 8.0 megawatts; (3) one new 1000-foot-long by 220-foot-wide 
tailrace; (4) a new 85-foot-long by 43-foot-high by 3-foot-thick intake 
retaining wall and a new 40-foot-long by 43-foot-high by 3-foot-thick 
tailrace retaining wall; (5) a new 60-foot-long by 50-foot-wide 
substation; (6) a new 6.54-mile-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line; 
and (7) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated 
annual generation of 66.4 gigawatt-hours.
