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

August 7, 2009.
    On April 29, 2009, McGinnis, Inc. filed an application, pursuant to 
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the 
feasibility of the Racine Hydrokinetic Project, to be located on the 
Ohio River, in Meigs County, Ohio and Mason County, West Virginia.
    The proposed Racine Project would be located approximately 500 feet 
downstream of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Racine Lock and Dam. The 
proposed project would consist of: (1) Ten turbine generators, with a 
total installed capacity of 350 kilowatts, mounted to a single barge 
attached to the riverbed; (2) an armored submarine cable to transmit 
power generated to a metering station and transformer on shore at the 
southeast end of the Racine Dam; (3) a new approximately 450-foot-long, 
13.2 kilovolt transmission line, which would extend from an existing 
substation to interconnect with the grid at the existing hydropower 
facility at the Racine Dam; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The Racine 
Project would have an estimated average annual generation of 1533 
megawatts-hours, which would be distributed to the power grid or sold 
directly to industrial, commercial, or municipal users.
