[ Project No. 13477-001]
FFP Project 67 LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted For Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On September 4, 2012, FFP Project 67, 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 a hydropower project
located on the Mississippi River, near Saint Joseph, in Tensas Parish,
Louisiana and Claiborne 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 Bondurant Chute hydrokinetic project would consist of
the following: (1) Up to 2,300 SmarTurbine generating units installed
in arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) the total capacity of the
installation would be up to 92,000 kilowatts; (3) flexible cables would
convey each arrays power to a metering station; and (4) a transmission
line would interconnect with the power grid. The proposed project would
have an average annual generation of 209,229,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh),
which would be sold to a local utility.
