DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

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

July 6, 2010.
    On September 29, 2009, McGinnis, Inc. filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Pickwick Hydrokinetic 
Project, to be located on the Tennessee River downstream of the 
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Corps of Engineers' (COE) 
existing Pickwick Lock & Dam in Harden County, Tennessee. 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 Pickwick Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 10 
proposed 35 kilowatt axial flow turbine generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 350 kilowatts; (2) a 1,300-foot-long, 13.2 
kilovolt transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed Pickwick Hydrokinetic Project would have an average annual 
generation of 1.533 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Bruce McGinnis, Sr., CEO, McGinnis, Inc., 502 
Second Street Ext., South Point, OH 45680; phone: (740) 377-4391.
    FERC Contact: Kim Carter, 202-502-6486.
