Hydro Energy Technologies LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

November 16, 2009.
    On October 30, 2009, Hydro Energy Technologies LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Grand 
Rapids Hydroelectric Project, located in Wood County, in the state of 
Ohio. 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 developments:
    (1) An existing 642-feet-long, 8-feet-high concrete gravity Grand 
Rapids

dam; (2) an existing 1,188-feet-long, 8.6-feet-high concrete Providence 
dam; (3) an existing reservoir having a surface area of 1,792 acres and 
a storage capacity of 8,925 acre-feet; (4) a proposed powerhouse 
containing one or more open flume turbine generating units having an 
installed capacity of 600-kilowatts; (5) a proposed 100-feet-long, 480-
VAC transmission line and transformer; and (6) appurtenant facilities. 
The proposed development would have an average annual generation of 
4,000 megawatt-hours.
