 American River Power II, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On November 10, 2011, American River Power II, LLC (AMP II) 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 located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) 
Olmsted Lock & Dam, located on the Ohio River in Ballard 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 intake 
channel; (2) a powerhouse containing three generating unit with a total 
capacity of 63.0 megawatts; (3) a tailrace; (4) a 52,783-foot-long, 
230.0 kilo-volt transmission line. The proposed project would have an 
average annual generation of 300.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and operate 
run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Olmsted Lock & Dam, as 
directed by the Corps.
