McGinnis, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

September 3, 2009.
    On August 6, 2009, McGinnis, Inc. filed an application, pursuant to 
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the 
feasibility of the Melvin Price Hydrokinetic Project, to be located on 
the Mississippi River, in St. Claire County, Missouri and Madison 
County, Illinois.
    The proposed Melvin Price Project would be located up to 12,000 
feet downstream of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Melvin Price Lock 
and Dam. The proposed project would consist of: (1) Ten turbine 
generators, with a total installed capacity of 350 kilowatts, mounted 
to a single barge attached to the riverbed; (2) an armored submarine 
cable to transmit power generated to a metering station and transformer 
on shore adjacent to the barge; (3) a new approximately one- to two-
mile-long, 13.2 kilovolt transmission line, which would extend from the 
new metering station to interconnect with the grid at either an 
existing hydropower facility substation located at Price Dam or a 
nearby existing Wood River Station; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 
Melvin Price Hydrokinetic Project would have an estimated average 
annual generation of 1,533 megawatts-hours, which would be distributed 
to the power grid or sold directly to industrial, commercial, or 
municipal users.
