Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications: 
Tenn-Tom Hydro, LLC

    On July 5, 2018, Tenn-Tom Hydro, LLC, 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 Stennis Hydropower 
Project (Stennis Project or project) to be located at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) John C. Stennis Lock and Dam on the 
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, in Lowndes County, Mississippi. 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 150-
foot-long, 25-foot-high trash screen; (2) a 180-foot-long, 80-foot-wide 
intake channel, at the east abutment of the Corps' existing spillway; 
(3) four 10-foot-diameter, 60-foot-long steel siphon penstocks; (4) a 
100-foot-long, 50-foot-wide powerhouse containing four generating units 
with a total combined capacity of 8.0 megawatts; (5) a 120-foot-long, 
100-foot-wide tailrace; and (6) a 0.6-mile-long transmission line. The 
proposed project would have an estimated average annual generation of 
52,000 megawatt-hours, and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water 
from the John C. Stennis Lock & Dam, as directed by the Corps.
