Lock + TM Hydro Friends Fund XI, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

August 7, 2009.
    On June 2, 2009, Lock + TM Hydro Friends Fund XI, LLC, filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Mean Green Hydroelectric 
Project, to be located on the Mississippi River, in Jackson County, 
Iowa and Jo Daviess County, Illinois.
    The proposed Mean Green Project would be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 12, near 
Bellevue, Iowa.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) One new underwater frame 
module containing nine turbines with a total installed capacity of 
about 6.4 megawatts which would be installed in the Corps' unused 
auxiliary lock located adjacent to the Corps' active lock; (2) a new 
removable lock door; (3) a new switchyard, transformer, and control 
room which would be located on the Iowa side of the river; (4) a new 
1000-foot-long, 36.7 kilovolt transmission line, which would deliver 
power from the turbines to an existing transformer tie-in bus located 
at the Corps' lock and dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant facilities. 
The Mean Green Project would have an estimated average annual 
generation of about 53,039 megawatts-hours, which would be sold to a 
local utility.
