Energy Resources USA Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On November 26, 2015, Energy Resources USA Inc., 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) Tom Bevill Lock and Dam on the Tombigbee River near the town of 
Aliceville in Pickens County, Alabama. 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 770-
foot-long, 300-foot-wide intake channel with a 85-foot-long retaining 
wall; (2) a 131-foot-long, 82-foot-wide powerhouse containing four 
generating units with a total capacity of 15.5 megawatts; (3) a 1000-
foot-long, 220-foot-wide tailrace with a 40-foot-long retaining wall; 
(4) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 3-mile-long, 69 kV 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an estimated average 
annual generation of 84,440 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by 
the Corps.
