FFP Missouri 15, LLC.............  Project No. 13762-000.
Morgantown Hydro, LLC............  Project No. 13773-000.
Three Rivers Hydro, LLC..........  Project No. 13784-000.
 

    On May 18, 2010, FFP Missouri 15, LLC, Morgantown Hydro, LLC, and 
Three Rivers Hydro LLC filed applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of 
the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower 
at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Morgantown Lock & Dam located on 
the Monongahela River in Monongahela 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.

Descriptions of the Proposed Morgantown Lock & Dam Projects

    FFP Missouri 15, LLC's project (Project No. 13762-000) would 
consist of: (1) An excavated intake channel slightly longer and wider 
than the powerhouse; (2) a 60-foot-long, 110-foot-wide, 40-foot-high 
proposed powerhouse containing two generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 9.0 megawatts (MW); (3) an excavated tailrace 
channel slightly longer and wider than the powerhouse; and (4) a 
proposed 13-mile-long, ranging from 34.0 to 230-kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 26.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local 
utility.
