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

    On May 4, 2016, 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 
located at the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Kentucky River Lock and Dam 
#8, located on the Kentucky River in Garrard County, Kentucky. 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) The 
existing 309-foot-long, 31-foot-high lock and dam, including an 
inoperable stone masonry lock; (2) three 3.96-foot-high, 87.50-foot-
long hydraulic flashboards to be installed on the crest of the 262.5-
foot-long spillway; (3) a reservoir with a surface area of 573 acres 
and a storage capacity of 14,020 acre-feet at a normal surface 
elevation of 31 feet mean sea level (msl); (4) a 770-foot-long, 300-
foot-wide intake channel with a 85-foot-long retaining wall; (5) a 131-
foot-long, 82-foot-wide powerhouse, to be built adjacent to the 
spillway end of the dam, containing two generating units with a total 
capacity of 11 megawatts; (6) a 1000-foot-long, 220-foot-wide tailrace 
with a 40-foot-long retaining wall; (7) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) 
substation; and (8) a 3-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The 
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 59,180 
megawatt-hours.
