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

    On July 16, 2010, Lock Hydro Friends Fund LI, filed an application, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study 
the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
(Corps) Kentucky River Lock and Dam located on the Kentucky River in 
Carroll County, 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) Two 
prefabricated concrete walls attached to the downstream side of the 
Corps dam which would support one frame

module; (2) the frame module would be 52 feet long, 40 feet high, and 
weigh 600,000 pounds and contain 4 generating units with a total 
combined capacity of 2.0 megawatts (MW); (3) a new switchyard 
containing a transformer; (4) a proposed 2.0-mile-long, 69-kilovolt 
(kV) transmission line to an existing distribution line. The proposed 
project would have an average annual generation of 8.766 gigawatt-hours 
(GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
