FFP Project 108, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On February 17, 2012, FFP Project 

108, 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 

hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) R. D. Bailey Dam 

located on the Guyandotte River in 

Mingo and Wyoming Counties, West 

Virginia. 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 R. D. Bailey Water 

Power Project would consist of the 

following: (1) A new 60-foot-long by 40- 

foot-wide by 25-foot-high powerhouse 

to be located downstream on the tailrace 

side of R. D. Bailey Dam; (2) a new 

bifurcating steel structure to be built on 

the existing outlet tunnel and consisting 

of a gated bypassed outlet and a 10-footdiameter steel penstock; (3) two new 

turbine generator units for a total 

installed capacity of 7.8 megawatts; (4) 

a new 6.5-mile-long, 14.7-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line; (5) a 4.16/46-kV 

substation; and (6) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

have an annual generation of 30,000 

megawatt-hours, and operate on a 

modified run-of-river mode as directed 

by the Corps.

feasibility of the Microturbine 

Hydrokinetic River-In-Stream Energy 

Conversion Project (Whitestone Project 

or project) to be located on the Tanana 

River within an Unorganized Borough, 

near Delta Junction, Alaska. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application

The proposed Whitestone Project 

would consist of: (1) A 12-foot-wide, 16- 

foot-diameter Poncelet undershot water 

wheel; (2) a 34-foot-long, 19- to 24-footwide, aluminum-frame floatation 

platform mounted on a 34-foot-long, 3.5- 

foot-diameter high-density-polyethylene 

(HDPE) pontoon and a 34-foot-long, 3- 

foot-diameter HDPE pontoon; (3) a 100- 

kilowatt turbine/generator unit; (4) a 33- 

foot-long, 3.5-foot-wide gangway from 

the shore to the floating pontoon; (5) 

three anchoring cables to secure the 

flotation platform to the shore, 

including a 30-foot-long primary safety 

tether, a 117-foot-long primary cable, 

and a 100-foot-long secondary cable; (6) 

an approximately 900-foot-long 

transmission cable from the floatation 

platform to an existing Golden Valley 

Electric Association distribution line; 

and (7) appurtenant facilities. The 

project is anticipated to operate from 

April until October, with an estimated 

annual generation of 200 megawatthours.
