Lock 11 Hydro Partners; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On March 4, 2015, Lock 11 Hydro Partners 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 Lock 11 Hydroelectric 
Station Project (Lock 11 Project or project) to be located at the 
Kentucky River Authority's Lock and Dam #11, on the Kentucky River, 
near the town of College Hill, in Estill and Madison Counties, 
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) An 
existing 208-foot-long, 35-foot-high concrete dam with a 52-foot-wide 
abandoned lock chamber;

[[Page 18615]]

(2) an existing 19.9-mile-long reservoir having a storage capacity of 
6,900-acre-feet; (3) 7 new axial flow turbine-generators installed in 
the existing lock chamber having a total capacity of 2,800 kilowatts; 
and (4) a new 1,000-foot-long, 12.47 kilo-Volt transmission line. The 
project is estimated to generate an average of 11,000 megawatt-hours 
annually.
