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

    On February 28, 2014, Wister Lake Power, 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 
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Wister Lake, 
on the Poteau River near the town of Poteau in LeFlore 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 the following: (1) Five 48 
inch-diameter, 300-foot-long steel penstocks; (2) five inline 
generation units with a total capacity of 6-megawatts; (3) a switchyard 
on the south bank adjacent to the dam; (4) a 1-mile-long, 15kV 
transmission line.
    The project would have an average annual generation of 16,000 
megawatt-hours and operate utilizing surplus water from the Wister 
Lake, as directed by the Corps.
