Watterra Energy, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To Intervene

    On January 17, 2017, Watterra Energy, 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 the Green River Lake Dam 
Hydroelectric Project (project), to be located at the existing U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers' Green River Lake Dam on the Green River near 
the City of Campbellsville, Taylor 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) A 706-
foot-long, 8-foot-diameter steel penstock lining the existing concrete 
conduit; (2) an 8-foot-long, 8-foot-wide bifurcation structure attached 
to the proposed penstock, with one branch extending to the proposed 
powerhouse, and the other branch providing an outlet point for the 
release of floodwaters; (3) a 70-foot-long, 55-foot-wide powerhouse 
containing two Francis generating units with a total capacity of 10.6 
megawatts; (4) a 55-foot-long, 70-foot-wide switchyard; and (5) a 
21,900-foot-long, 12.7 kilovolt transmission line. The estimated annual 
generation of the project would be 48.6 gigawatt-hours, and would 
operate as directed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
