          - [Project No. 14378-000]

On March 29, 2012, Green River Energy BFD, 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 located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Green River Lake Dam, located on the Green River in Taylor County, Kentucky. 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 bifurcation structure constructed at the end of the dam's outlet conduit; (2) a 30-foot-long, 72 inch-diameter steel penstock; (3) a powerhouse containing two turbine/generating units with a total capacity of 3.1 megawatts; (4) a 570-foot-long, 12.7-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 17,651 megawatt-hours (MWh), and operate utilizing surplus water from the Green River Lake Dam, as directed by the Corps.
