          - [Project No. 15113-000]

On April 12, 2021, Kinet, Inc., filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Coons Rapid Hydroelectric Project to be located on the Mississippi River, near the Towns of Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids, in Hennepin County, Minnesota. 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 utilize the impoundment formed by the Hennepin County Dam owned and operated by Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District (Three Rivers Park District) and consist of the following: (1) An existing 975-foot-long by 35-foot-high concrete dam; (2) a 160-square-mile reservoir with a normal storage volume of 1,380 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of 830 feet mean sea level; (3) three 52-foot-long by 102-foot-wide by 33-foot-high concrete- intake structures with varying depths of between 8 to 32 feet; (4) a new 120-foot-wide by 60-foot-long by 33-foot-high concrete powerhouse containing fifteen 751-kilowatt (kW) turbine-generators for a total project capacity of 10,275 kW; (5) a 54-foot-long by 306-foot-wide tailrace; (6) a 1,200-foot-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Coon Rapids Hydroelectric Project would be 62,539 megawatt-hours.
