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

    On March 1, 2019, Lock+\TM\ Hydro Friends Fund XX, LLC, 
filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) 
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of 
the Blue Marsh Dam Hydropower Project to be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Blue Marsh Dam on the Tulpehocken Creek in 
Berks 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.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new 30-
foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 160-foot-high Large Frame Module; (2) two 
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 1.75 megawatts; 
(3) a new 4-foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 3-foot-high pad-mounted 
transformer; (4) a new 1,650-foot-long, 13-kilovolt transmission line 
connecting the new transformer to an existing distribution line; and 
(5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an annual 
generation of 7,750 megawatt-hours.
