Kinet, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

    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.
