Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 3, 2015, Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation, 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 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 
(Corps) Col. Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam #5 on the Arkansas River 
near the town of Pine Bluff in Jefferson 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 800-
foot-long, 400-foot-wide intake channel; (2) a 200-foot-long, 210-foot-
wide powerhouse containing four generating units with a total capacity 
of 36 megawatts; (3) a 1,000-foot-long, 400-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 
6.9/115 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 4-mile-long, 115kV 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an estimated average 
annual generation of 140,000 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by 
the Corps.
