Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 23, 2012, Cave Run Energy, 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 
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Cave Run Dam, 
located on the Licking River in Rowan and Bath Counties, 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 
bifurcation structure constructed at the end of the dam's outlet 
conduit; (2) a powerhouse containing two turbine/generating units with 
a total capacity of 6.0 megawatts; (3) a 70-foot-long, 150 inch-
diameter steel penstock; (4) a 1,200-foot-long, 12.7-kilovolt (kV) 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 34,164 megawatt-hours (MWh), and operate utilizing 
surplus water from the Cave Run Dam, as directed by the Corps.
