FFP Project 117, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 1, 2013, FFP Project 117, 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 at 
the Kentucky River Lock and Dam 13 located on the Kentucky 
River near the town of Beattyville in Lee 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 300-
foot-long, 43-foot-high concrete dam; (2) a reservoir with a surface 
area of 295 acres and a storage capacity of 5,540 acre-feet; (3) a 310-
foot-long, 100-foot-wide intake channel with a 175-foot-long retaining 
wall; (4) a 110-foot-long, 80-foot-wide powerhouse containing two 
generating units with a total capacity of 5.0 megawatts; (5) a 230-
foot-long, 110-foot-wide tailrace with a 110-foot-long retaining wall; 
(6) a 4.16/34.5 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (7) a 2.2- mile-long access 
road; (8) a 0.3- mile-long, 34.5 kV transmission line. The project 
would have an average annual generation of 19,500 megawatt-hours.
