FFP Project 92, LLC; Notice of Application Accepted for Filing,
Soliciting Motions To Intervene and Protests, Ready for Environmental
Analysis, and Soliciting Comments, Recommendations, Preliminary Terms
and Conditions, and Preliminary Fishway Prescriptions

Take notice that the following hydroelectric application has been

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: Kellie Doherty, Rye Development, LLC, 745
Atlantic Avenue, 8th floor, Boston, MA 02111; Telephone (781) 856-2030;
kellie@ryedevelopment.com.
i. FERC Contact: Sarah Salazar, Telephone (202) 502-6863, and email
sarah.salazar@ferc.gov.
j. Deadline for filing motions to intervene and protests, comments,
recommendations, preliminary terms and conditions, and preliminary
prescriptions: 60 days from the issuance date of this notice; reply
comments are due 75 days from the issuance date of this notice.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file
motions to intervene, protests, comments, recommendations, preliminary
terms and conditions, and preliminary fishway prescriptions using the
Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000
characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at
http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your
name and contact information at the end of your comments. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-
8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper copy to:
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include
docket number P-14276-002.
The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each
person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an
intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to
the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
l. 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 275-foot-long, 75-foot-wide reinforced concrete intake
channel equipped with trashracks with 3-inch bar spacing; (4) a new
140-foot-long, 64.5-foot-wide powerhouse that includes a 30-foot-long,
47-foot- high, 64.5-foot-wide intake and headgate structure built
within the existing lock structure; (5) two new horizontal Pit Kaplan
turbine generator units each rated at 2.5 megawatts (MW); (6) a new
190-foot-long, 78-foot-wide tailrace; (7) a new 40-foot-long, 40-foot-
wide substation; (8) a new 212-foot, 4.16 kilovolt (kV) underground
transmission cable from the generators to the new substation and a new
approximately 4.5-mile-long, 69- kV overhead 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.
m. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the

n. Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene
in accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure,
18 CFR 385.210, .211, and .214. In determining the appropriate action
to take, the Commission will consider all protests or other comments
filed, but only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with
the Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any
comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or

All filings must (1) bear in all capital letters the title

``RECOMMENDATIONS,'' ``PRELIMINARY TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' or
``PRELIMINARY FISHWAY PRESCRIPTIONS;'' (2) set forth in the heading the

which the filing responds; (3) furnish the name, address, and telephone
number of the person protesting or intervening; and (4) otherwise
comply with the requirements of 18 CFR 385.2001 through 385.2005. All
comments, recommendations, terms and conditions or prescriptions must
set forth their evidentiary basis and otherwise comply with the
requirements of 18 CFR 4.34(b). Agencies may obtain copies of the
application directly from the applicant. A copy of any protest or
motion to intervene must be served upon each representative of the
applicant specified in the particular application. A copy of all other
filings in reference to this application must be accompanied by proof
of service on all persons listed in the service list prepared by the
Commission in this proceeding, in accordance with 18 CFR 4.34(b) and
385.2010.
o. Any qualified applicant desiring to file a competing application
must submit to the Commission, on or before the specified intervention
deadline date, a competing development application, or a notice of
intent to file such an application. Submission of a timely notice of
intent allows an interested person to file the competing development
application no later than 120 days after the specified intervention
