Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications: 
kW River Hydroelectric

    On March 4, 2019, kW River Hydroelectric 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 Hamilton Low Dam 
Hydroelectric Project to be located on the Great Miami River and near 
the City of Fairfield, in Butler 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 the following: (1) Eleven 37-
foot-long by 15-foot-wide turbine modules, each containing four 125-
kilowatt (kW) turbines for a total project capacity of 5,500 kW; (2) 
two three-phase alternating current (A/C) generators, having a combined 
maximum power output capacity of 7,500 kW; (3) a 240-foot-long, 69-kV 
transmission line connecting to an existing transmission system 
(preferred option) or a 110-foot-long, 13.2-kV line connecting to an 
existing distribution system (secondary option); and (4) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Hamilton Low Dam 
Hydroelectric Project would be 3,066 megawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Paul Kling, kW River Hydroelectric, 5667 
Krystal Court, Suite 100, Cincinnati, OH 45252; phone: (513) 673-2251.
