Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXV; FFP Missouri 7, LLC; Dashields 
Hydro, LLC; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit Applications 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, and Motions To Intervene

November 15, 2010.
    On May 18, 2010, Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXV, FFP Missouri 7, LLC, 
and Dashields Hydro, LLC filed applications, pursuant to section 4(f) 
of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of 
hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Dashields Lock & Dam 
located on the Ohio River in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania. 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.
    Descriptions of the proposed Dashields Lock and Dam Projects:
    Lock Hydro Friends Fund XXXV's project (Project No. 13735-000) 
would consist of: (1) Two 44-foot-high, 75-foot-long prefabricated 
concrete walls attached to the downstream side of the Corps dam which 
will support two frame modules; (2) each frame module will be 109 feet 
long and weigh 1.16 million pounds and contain 10 generating units with 
a total combined capacity of 10.0 megawatts (MW); (3) a new switchyard 
containing a transformer; (4) a proposed 6,000-foot-long, 36.7-kilovolt 
(kV) transmission line to an existing substation. The proposed project 
would have an average annual generation of 43.83 gigawatt-hours (GWh), 
which would be sold to a local utility.

    FFP Missouri 7, LLC's project (Project No. 13756-000) would consist 
of: (1) An excavated intake channel slightly longer and wider than the 
powerhouse; (2) a 200-foot-long, 200-foot-wide, 50-foot-high proposed 
powerhouse containing five generating units having a total installed 
capacity of 25.0 MW; (3) an excavated tailrace channel slightly longer 
and wider than the powerhouse; (4) a proposed 11,500-foot-long, 34.0 to
