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

    On November 28, 2015, Energy Resources USA, Inc. (Energy Resources) 
filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) 
of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of 
the Selden Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project (Selden Project or 
project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Selden Lock 
and Dam on the Black Warrior River in Green 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.
    Energy Resources' permit application is filed in competition with 
Lock+^TM Hydro Friends Fund III, proposed Selden Lock and Dam 
Hydroelectric Project No. 14672-000, which was publicly noticed 
November 24, 2015. The deadline for filing competing applications is 
January 25, 2016. Energy Resources competing permit application is 
timely filed.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 200-
foot-long, 140-foot-wide intake channel; (2) a 133-foot-long, 83-foot-
wide powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity 
of 12.5 megawatts; (3) a 4000-foot-long, 1600-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 
4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (5) a 330-foot-long addition to the 
existing access road; and (6) a 3-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. 
The proposed project would have an estimated average annual generation 
of 68,900 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the Corps.
