 [Project No. 13598-000]

 
Northbrook Carters Lake, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

December 7, 2009.
    On October 1, 2009, Northbrook Carters Lake, 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 Carters 
Lake Hydro Project, which would be located at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineer's Carters Reregulation Dam on the Coosawattee River near the 
town of Calhoun, Murray County, Georgia. 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) The existing 208-foot-wide Carters Reregulation Dam; (2) an 
existing 870-acre reservoir having a storage capacity of 17,210 acre-
feet and water surface elevations between 677 feet and 696 feet mean 
sea level; (3) an intake and conduits delivering water to the project 
turbines; (4) a concrete powerhouse located 90 feet downstream of the 
dam; (5) two new Kaplan generating units having an installed capacity 
of 4.5-megawatts; (6) a newly excavated 700-foot-long tailrace; (7) a 
proposed transmission line 0.5 mile long; and (8) appurtenant 
facilities. The project would have an average annual generation of 
17.325 gigawatt-hours.
