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

    On June 26, 2014, Symphony Hydro 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 the Symphony Hydro Project 
to be located on Mississippi River, near the city of Minneapolis, 
Hennepin County, Minnesota. 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) Two new 
1.5-foot-thick by 56-foot-wide by 60-foot-high reinforced concrete 
bulkheads containing two variable speed 1,700-

kilowatt (kW) turbine/generators mounted on roller frames for a 
combined nameplate capacity of 3.4 megawatts; (2) two 6-foot-square 
pad-mounted metal boxes, one containing plant controls and the other 
containing a 13.8-kilovolt (kV) step-up distribution transformer; (3) a 
13.8-kV transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated annual generation of the Symphony Hydro Project would be 
18,000 megawatt-hours.
