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

    On December 22, 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 Cedar Creek Hydroelectric Project (Cedar Creek Project or project) 
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cedar Creek Dam on 
the Cedar Creek River in Franklin 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 control 
structure with three 9.5-foot-wide, 25-foot-long spill gates; (2) one 
6-foot-diameter, 49-foot-long penstock with a butterfly valve; (3) a 
bifurcation structure; (4) two 4-foot-diameter, 32-foot-long penstocks; 
(5) a powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity 
of 1.5 megawatts; (6) a 1000-foot-long, 220-foot-wide tailrace; (7) a 
substation; and (8) a 4.5-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The 
proposed project would have an estimated average annual generation of 
5,500 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the Corps.
