Lock 9 Hydro Partners; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To Intervene

    On September 1, 2016, Lock 9 Hydro Partners 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 Valley View 
Hydroelectric Station Project (project) to be located at the Kentucky 
River Authority's Lock and Dam 9 on the Kentucky River in Jessamine and 
Madison 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) The 
existing 242-foot-long, 35-foot-high concrete lock and dam; (2) the 
existing 343-acre reservoir having a storage capacity of 6,550-acre-
feet; (3) twelve proposed 50-foot-long, 63-inch-diameter siphoning 
penstocks encased in concrete; (4) six submersible generating units, 
each fed by two penstocks, located within the auxiliary section of the 
dam with a total combined capacity of 3.36 megawatts; (5) a proposed 
30-foot-long, 48-foot-wide on-shore building to house project controls; 
and (6) a proposed 2,000-foot-long, 12.47 kilovolt transmission line. 
The estimated annual generation of the project would be 12.9 gigawatt-
hours.
