FFP Project 92, LLC; Notice of Application Tendered for Filing 
With the Commission and Establishing Procedural Schedule for Licensing 
and Deadline for Submission of Final Amendments

    Take notice that the following hydroelectric application has been 
filed with the Commission and is available for public inspection.
    a. Type of Application: Original Major License.
    b. Project No.: 14276-002.
    c. Date Filed: April 16, 2015.
    d. Applicant: FFP Project 92, LLC.
    e. Name of Project: Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 11 
Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: The proposed project would be located on the Kentucky 
River in Estill and Madison Counties, Kentucky, at the existing 
Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 11 which is owned by the Commonwealth 
of Kentucky and operated by the Kentucky River Authority. The project 
would not affect federal land.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: 18 CFR part 5 of the Commission's regulations 
and Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013.
    h. Applicant Contact: Elvir Mujanovic, Vice President of Finance, 
Rye Development, LLC, 745 Atlantic Avenue, 8th floor, Boston, MA 02111; 
Telephone (781) 856-2030; [email protected].
    i. FERC Contact: Sarah Salazar, (202) 502-6863 or 
[email protected].
    j. This application is not ready for environmental analysis at this 
time.
    k. Project Description: The proposed project would be located at 
the Commonwealth of Kentucky's existing Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 
11, which was originally constructed from 1904 to 1906 by the U.S. 
Corps of Engineers for the purpose of transportation. There is a single 
lock chamber with a total length of 148 feet and width of 52 feet on 
the south end of the dam. However, a concrete bulkhead and miter gates 
were installed in front of the lock structure and it is no longer being 
used for navigational purposes. The Kentucky River Authority currently 
operates the dam to maintain the upriver channel depth and an 
impoundment to withdraw water for municipal drinking water purposes. 
The impoundment also serves the purposes of providing opportunities for 
recreation and habitat for fish and wildlife.
    The proposed project would be operated in a run-of-river mode. The 
proposed project would include: (1) The existing 579-acre impoundment, 
with a normal pool elevation of 585.60 feet North American Vertical 
Datum of 1988; (2) the existing 208-foot-long, 35-foot-high fixed crest 
dam; (3) a new 3.5-foot-high adjustable crest gate attached to the top 
of the dam that would be used to maintain the water surface elevation 
of the impoundment during project operations (i.e., when inflow would 
be diverted from the spillway to the proposed turbines); (4) a new 275-
foot-long, 75-foot-wide reinforced concrete intake channel equipped 
with trashracks with 3-inch bar spacing; (5) a new 140-foot-long, 64.5-
foot-wide powerhouse built within the existing lock structure, with two 
horizontal Pit Kaplan turbine generator units each rated at 2.5 
megawatts (MW) for a total installed capacity of 5 MW; (6) a new 190-
foot-long, 78-foot-wide tailrace; (7) a new 40-foot-long, 40-foot-wide 
substation; (8) a new approximately 4.5-mile-long, 69-kilovolt 
transmission line extending from the new substation at the powerhouse 
to an existing substation located near Waco, Kentucky; and (9) 
appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would generate about 
18,500 megawatt-hours annually, which would be sold to a local utility.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on
