Lock 13 Hydro Partners; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To Intervene

    On September 1, 2016, Lock 13 Hydro Partners filed an application 
for a

[[Page 8519]]

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Evelyn Hydroelectric 
Station Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located at the Kentucky 
River Authority's Lock 13 on the Kentucky River in Lee 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) An 
existing 248-foot-long, 35-foot-high concrete lock and dam; (2) an 
existing 165-acre reservoir having a storage capacity of 3,200-acre-
feet; (3) five new submersible generating units located within the 
abandoned lock chamber for a total installed capacity of 2.8 megawatts; 
(4) a new 30-foot-long, 48-foot-wide on-shore building to house project 
controls; and (5) a new 1,200-foot-long, 12.47 kilo-Volt transmission 
line. The project is estimated to generate an average of 11.6 gigawatt-
hours annually.
