FFP Project 116, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 1, 2013, FFP Project 116, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project at 
the Kentucky River Lock and Dam 9 located on the Kentucky 
River near the town of Valley View in Jessamine 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) A 575-
foot-long, 36-foot-high concrete dam with a 294-foot-long spillway; (2) 
a reservoir with a surface area of 763 acres and a storage capacity of 
15,030 acre-feet; (3) a 220-foot-long, 130-foot-wide intake channel 
with a 50-foot-long retaining wall; (4) a 130-foot-long, 90-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity of 7.2 
megawatts; (5) a 420-foot-long, 150-foot-wide tailrace with a 100-foot-
long retaining wall; (6) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (7) a 
0.3- mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The project would have an 
average annual generation of 27,800 megawatt-hours.
