Coastal Hydropower, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On April 12, 2012, Coastal Hydropower, LLC filed an application for 
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Menasha-Neenah Water 
Power Project, which would be located on the Fox River, in Winnebago 
County, Wisconsin. 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) Installation of 12 Very 
Low Head (VLH) 500-kilowatt (kW) turbine units; (2) a proposed 700-
foot-long, 12-kilovolt transmission line; (3) a proposed 300-foot-long, 
13-kilovolt transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed Menasha-Neenah Water Power Project would have an estimated 
average annual generation of 31.5 gigawatt-hours.
