Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XXVIV, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

December 7, 2009.
    On July 17, 2009, Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XXVIV, LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Project 
Green Voodoo, which would be located at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineer's Red River Lock and Dam No. 1 on the Red River near the town 
of Marksville, Catahoula Parish, LA. 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) One lock frame module consisting of nine turbines placed in a 
concrete-lined conduit of unknown dimensions. The module would be 
located adjacent to and east of the Corps dam; and (2) a proposed 69 kV 
transmission line approximately 13 miles long extending from the 
turbine units to a transfer station near the town of Marksville. The 
project would have an estimated annual generation of 37,277 megawatt-
hours.
