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

    On May 18, 2012, Inglis Hydropower, 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 
located at the Inglis Bypass Channel, located on the Withlacoochee 
River in Levy County, Florida. 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) An 
existing 32-foot-high, 3500-foot-long earth filled dam; (2) a reservoir 
with a surface area of 4,000 acres and the storage capacity of 41,000 
acre-feet; (3) a 1.75 mile-long bypass channel; (4) a 65-foot-wide, 35-
foot-long intake structure with a trash rack cleaning system; (5) Four 
12-foot-diameter, 250-foot-long steel penstocks; (6) a powerhouse 
containing three generation units with a total capacity of 2,300 kilo-
Watts, with an estimated average annual generation of 14,200,000 kilo-
Watt hours; (7) a 120-foot-long, 24 kilo-Volt underground transmission 
line.
