FFP Project 115, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 1, 2013, FFP Project 115, 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 Kentucky River Lock and Dam 5 located on the Kentucky 
River near the town of Tyrone in Anderson and Woodford 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 594-
foot-long, 36-foot-high timber dam; (2) a reservoir with a surface area 
of 730 acres and a storage capacity of 17,390 acre-feet; (3) a 480-
foot-long, 100-foot-wide intake channel with a 100-foot-long retaining 
wall; (4) a 260-foot-long fixed crest dam extension connecting the 
exiting dam to the new powerhouse; (5) a 150-foot-long, 100-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity of 9.3 
megawatts; (6) a 280-foot-long, 180-foot-wide tailrace with a 110-foot-
long retaining wall; (7) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (8) a 
1.0-mile-long access road; (9) a 0.9-mile-long, 69 kV transmission 
line. The project would have an average annual generation of 39,500 
megawatt-hours.
