SV Hydro LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

    On November 16, 2023, SV Hydro 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) Coffeeville Lock 
and Dam near the Town of Coffeeville, Choctaw, and Clarke Counties, 
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 Coffeeville Hydroelectric Project would consist of the 
following: (1) a 200-foot-long, 100-foot-wide intake channel; (2) a 90-
foot-long, 120-foot-wide, 50-foot-high concrete powerhouse located on 
the northwest bank of the river at the left abutment (looking 
downstream) of the existing Corps' dam containing four Kaplan bulb 
turbine-generator units with a total capacity of 36.0 megawatts; (3) a 
250-foot-long, 100-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a switchyard, adjacent to 
the powerhouse; and (5) a 2.7-mile-long, 69 kilovolt transmission line. 
The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 180 
megawatt-hours.
