Three Guys Hydroelectric Company, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

October 23, 2009.
    On September 1, 2009, Three Guys Hydroelectric Company, LLC filed 
an application for a successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of 
the R. D. Bailey Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 12683, to be located at 
the existing R. D. Bailey Dam, on the Guyandotte River, in Mingo 
County, West Virginia. 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 existing R. D. Bailey Dam is owned and operated by the U.S. 
Corps of Engineers, and includes the existing reservoir, dam, outlet 
works, and tailrace. The proposed project would consist of: (1) A new 
60-foot-long by 40-foot-wide powerhouse to be located on the downstream 
side of R. D. Bailey dam below the outlet works; (2) a new bifurcating 
steel structure consisting of a 100-foot-long gated bypassed outlet and 
a 150-foot-long, 11-foot-diameter penstock; (3) two new turbine 
generator units for a total installed capacity of 7.8 megawatts; (4) a 
new 6.5-mile-long, 14.7-kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed project would operate in run-of-river mode and 
generate an estimated average annual generation of 30,000 megawatt-
hours.

Solutions LLC, 150 North Miller Road, Suite 450C, Fairlawn, OH 44333.
