 FFP Project 118, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On February 1, 2013, FFP Project 118, 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Green River Lock & 
Dam 1, located on the Green River near the town of Henderson 
in Henderson 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 650-
foot-long, 320-foot-wide intake channel with a 150-foot-long retaining 
wall; (2) a 400-foot-long crest dam extension connecting the existing 
dam to the new powerhouse; (3) a 160-foot-long, 120-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity of 5.6 
megawatts; (4) a 220-foot-long, 160-foot-wide tailrace with a 75-foot-
long retaining wall; (5) a 4.16/69 kilo-volt (kV) substation; (6) a 
310-foot-long access road to the powerhouse and substation; (7) a 2.0-
mile-long, 69kV transmission line. The proposed project would have an 
average annual generation of 27,000 megawatt-hours, and operate as 
directed by the Corps.
