FFP Project 131, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On May 20, 2013, FFP Project 131, 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 to be
located at the US Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Felsenthal Lock &
Dam on the Ouachita River near the town of Felsenthal in Union County,
Arkansas. 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 300-
foot-long, 150-foot-wide intake channel; (2) a 100-foot-long, 150-foot-
wide powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity
of 5 megawatts; (3) a 500-foot-long, 150-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a
4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 1.0-mile-long, 69kV
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual
generation of 18,000 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the
Corps.
