[Project No. 14682-000]


Adam R. Rousselle II; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On June 17, 2015, Adam R. Rousselle II filed an application for a 
preliminary permit under section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Paint Creek Dam 
Water Power Project No. 14682-000, to be located at the existing U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers' Paint Creek Lake, near the town of Bainbridge, 
Highland County, Ohio. 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 be located completely within lands owned 
by the United States and use an existing concrete intake tower located 
in Paint Creek Lake and an existing 1,100-foot-long, 48-foot-diameter 
tunnel conveying the lake water from the intake tower to the outlet 
works downstream of the dam. The proposed project would consist of the 
following new facilities: (1) Two 80-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter steel 
penstocks attached to the outlet works and ending at the turbine 
assembly; (2) a 50-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 30-foot-high concrete 
powerhouse located approximately 100 feet downstream of the outlet 
works and containing two Kaplan turbine-generators with a combined 
installed capacity of 2.14 megawatts; (3) a 500-foot-long, 14.7 
kilovolt transmission line; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The project 
is estimated to generate 13,100 megawatt hours annually.
