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

    On July 5, 2018, Tenn-Tom 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 Aberdeen Hydropower 
Project (Aberdeen Project or project) to be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Aberdeen Lock and Dam on the Tennessee-
Tombigbee Waterway, in Monroe County, Mississippi. 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 
cylindrical intake structure in each of the three existing gated 
spillways sections, on the eastern end of the dam; (2) four proprietary 
shaped penstocks with run underneath each of the existing three Corps' 
spillway gates; (3) four submerged generating units, below each 
spillway section for a total of twelve units, with a total combined 
capacity of 4.8 megawatts; (4) a 50-foot-long, 50-foot-wide control 
building with switchyard on the dam's east abutment; (5) a 0.8 mile-
long transmission line. The proposed project would have an estimated 
average annual generation of 32,000 megawatt-hours, and operate run-of-
river utilizing surplus water from the Aberdeen Lock & Dam, as directed 
by the Corps.
