Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13451–000] 

McGinnis, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

July 2, 2009. 

On April 29, 2009, McGinnis, 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 Greenup 

Hydrokinetic Project, located on the 

Ohio River, in Greenup County, 

Kentucky, and Scioto County, Ohio. 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: (1) A 100 to 300-foot-long by 20 to 

52-foot-wide barge spudded down to the 

riverbed; (2) 10 6–8-foot-long by 6–8- 

foot-diameter turbine-generators 

mounted in line along the side of the 

barge; (3) one armored, high-voltage 

cable transmitting the generated power 

to the existing transmission line located 

adjacent to the proposed project area; 

and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 

proposed project would generate about 

1,533 megawatt-hours.
