Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XIV, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

December 7, 2009.
    On June 16, 2009, Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XIV, 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 Project 
Emerald, which would be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's 
W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam No. 14 located on the Arkansas River near the 
town of Spiro, Sequoyah County, OK and in Le Flore County, OK. 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) Two lock frame modules consisting of eighteen turbines rated at 
36,000 kilowatts. The modules would be placed in a concrete-lined 
conduit of unknown dimensions. The modules would be located adjacent to 
and northeast of the Corps dam; and (2) a proposed 69 kV transmission 
line approximately 1.4 miles long extending from the turbine units to 
an existing distribution line located 1.4 miles south of the dam. The 
proposed transmission line would cross the Arkansas River. The project 
would have an estimated annual generation of 284 gigawatt-hours.
