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

    On November 27, 2015, Energy Resources USA, Inc. (Energy Resources)

[[Page 6257]]

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 Coffeeville Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project (Coffeeville Project 
or project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 
Coffeeville Lock and Dam on the Tombigbee River in Clark 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 II, proposed Coffeeville Lock and 
Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 14673-000, which was publicly noticed 
November 24, 2015. The deadline for filing competing applications was 
January 25, 2016. Energy Resources competing permit application was 
timely filed.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A 500-
foot-long, 200-foot-wide intake channel; (2) a 131-foot-long, 197-foot-
wide powerhouse containing three generating units with a total capacity 
of 33 megawatts; (3) a 400-foot-long, 20-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 6.9/
69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (5) a 34-mile-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 186,000 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the Corps.
