Bevill Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On May 30, 2025, Bevill Hydroelectric, 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 a hydropower project to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Tom Bevill Lock and Dam, on the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway, near the City of Pickensville, Pickens County, Alabama. 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 Tom Bevill Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project would consist of the following: (1) a 50-foot-wide, 50-foot-long intake structure; (2) a 50-foot-wide, 190-foot-long reinforced concrete powerhouse located adjacent to western abutment within the spillway, containing one 12.5-megawatt, pit style turbine generator; (3) a 50-foot-long, 50-foot-wide dredged tailrace channel that would direct flow to the river downstream from the dam; and (4) a 1.3 mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 59.6 gigawatt-hours.
