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

    On May 04, 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 Kentucky River Authority's Kentucky River Lock and Dam 
#10, located on the Kentucky River in Clark 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 890-foot-long, 37-foot-high concrete lock and dam; (2) three 
3.97-foot-high, 82-foot-long hydraulic flashboards to be installed on 
the crest of the 246-foot-

[[Page 47167]]

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 
37 feet mean sea level (msl); (4) a 770-foot-long, 300-foot-wide intake 
channel with a 85-foot-long retaining wall; (5) a 98-foot-long, 115-
foot-wide powerhouse, to be built adjacent to the spillway end of the 
dam, containing two generating units with a total capacity of 9 
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 
0.15-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The proposed project would 
have an average annual generation of 48,690 megawatt-hours.
