 FFP Project 101 LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On October 3, 2011, FFP Project 101 LLC 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 at 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Oologah Lake Dam, located on 
the Verdigris River, in Rogers County, Oklahoma. 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: (1) A 75-foot by 50-foot 
intake structure; (2) a 100-foot-long approach channel; (3) two 12-
foot-diameter, 700-foot-long steel penstocks; (4) a powerhouse, located 
on the north side of the dam, containing two generating units with a 
total capacity of 20.0 megawatts; (5) a 230-foot-long, 100-foot-wide 
tailrace; (6) a 4.16/12.5 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (7) a 250-
foot-long, 12.5 kV transmission line. The proposed project would have 
an average annual generation of 60.0 gigawatt-hours, and operate run-
of-river utilizing surplus water from the Oologah Lake Dam, as directed 
by the Corps.
