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 Wilson Hydrokinetic Project, 
to be located on the Tennessee River downstream of the Tennessee Valley 
Authority (TVA) and the Corps of Engineers' (COE) existing Wilson Lock 
& Dam in Lauderdale and Colbert County, Alabama. 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 Wilson Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 10 
proposed 35 kilowatt axial flow turbine generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 350 kilowatts; (2) a 700-foot-long, 13.2 kilovolt 
transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed Wilson 
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.
