------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 6, 2015, and September 2, 2015, Lock+TM Hydro 
Friends Fund XXIX and Energy Resources USA Inc. respectively, filed 
preliminary permit applications pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 
Power Act proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project, 
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Columbia 
Lock and Dam on the Ouachita River, near the city of Columbia in 
Caldwell County, Louisiana. 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 
owner's express permission.
    Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund XXIX's proposed project would 
consist of: (1) Three 109-foot-wide Large Frame Modules, each 
containing eight generating units, with a total capacity of 8 
megawatts; (2) a 150-foot-long tailrace at the end of each Large Frame 
Module; (3) a 2.5-mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line; and (4) a 
new switchyard. The project would have an estimated annual generation 
of 45,500 megawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Wayne Krouse, P.O. Box 43796, Birmingham, AL 
35243; (877) 556-6566, extension 709.
    Energy Resources USA Inc.'s proposed project would consist of: (1) 
A 770-foot-long; 300-foot-wide intake area with a 40-foot-long 
retaining wall; (2) a 140-foot-wide; 90-foot-long reinforced concrete 
powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity of 9 
megawatts; (3) a 1,000-foot-long; 220-foot-wide tailrace with a 40-
foot-long retaining wall; (4) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (5) 
a 3-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The project would have an 
estimated annual generation of 59,600 megawatt-hours.
