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

    On March 20, 2012, American River Power, LLC filed an application 
for a preliminary permit under section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Brookville Hydroelectric 
Water Power Project No. 14374, to be located at the existing Brookville 
Lake Dam on the Whitewater River, near the town of Brookville in 
Franklin County, Indiana. The Brookville Lake Dam is owned by the 
United States government and operated by the United States Army Corps 
of Engineers.
    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) One new 60-foot-long by 
30-foot-wide by 30-foot-high reinforced concrete powerhouse, containing 
three 3-megawatt (MW) turbines for a total capacity of 9 MW; (2) a new 
220-foot-long by 9-foot-diameter steel penstock; (3) a new 35-foot-long 
by 35-foot-wide substation; (4) a new 400-foot-long, 12.5 to 34.5-
kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The project 
would have an estimated annual generation of 55 gigawatt-hours.
