On September 1, 2011, Lock 12 Hydro Partners (Lock 12), and FFP
Project 107 LLC (FFP 107) filed preliminary permit applications,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study
the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers' (Corps) Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 12, located on the
Kentucky River in Estill County, Kentucky. The sole purpose of a
[[Page 73617]]
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.
Lock 12's Project No. 13214-002 would consist of: (1) A powerhouse
constructed in an abandoned lock, containing four generating units with
a total capacity of 2.64 megawatts (MW); and (2) a 1,500-foot-long,
12.47 kilo-volt (KV) transmission line. The project would have an
estimated average annual generation of 11.0 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and
operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the Kentucky River
Lock and Dam No. 12, as directed by the Corps.
