Cherokee Rivers Company, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 3, 2019, Cherokee Rivers Company, 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 
Lower Coosawattee Hydroelectric Project (Lower Coosawattee Project or 
project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) 
Carter's Reregulation Dam on the Coosawattee River, in Murray County, 
Georgia. 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 50-foot-
long, 8-foot-wide intake structure with trash racks and stop logs, on 
the left end of the dam; (2) four 8-foot-diameter, approximately 320-
foot-long penstocks running through the dam; (3) the four penstocks 
combining into two 15-foot-high, 23.6-foot-wide, 100-foot-long box 
culvert conduits; (4) a 52-foot-long, 25-foot-wide, 47-foot-high 
powerhouse containing two generating units, with a combined capacity of 
4.5 megawatts; and (5) a 120-foot-long transmission line. The proposed 
project would have an estimated average annual generation of 16,500 
megawatt-hours, and operate run-of-release utilizing surplus water from 
the Carter's Reregulation Dam, as directed by the Corps.
