Riverbank Hydro No. 22 LLC; FFP Project 93 LLC; Notice of 
Competing Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On September 1, 2011, Riverbank Hydro No. 22 LLC (Riverbank), and 
FFP Project 93 LLC (FFP 93) filed preliminary permit applications, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study 
the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers' (Corps) Green River Lock & Dam No. 5, located on the Green 
River in Butler and Warren Counties, Kentucky. 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.
    Riverbank's Project No. 14269-000 would consist of: (1) A forebay; 
(2) an intake structure; (3) a powerhouse containing two generating 
units with a total capacity of 3.8 megawatts (MW); (4) a tailrace 
structure; and (5) a 0.25-mile-long, 25 kilo-volt (KV) transmission 
line. The project would have an estimated average annual generation of 
17.8 gigawatt-hours (GWh), and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus 
water from the Green River Lock & Dam No. 5, as directed by the Corps.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Vincent Lamarra, Riverbank Power USA, 975 
South State Highway 89/91, Logan, UT 84321. (435) 752-2580.

north side of the dam, containing one generating units with a total 
capacity of 5.3 MW; (3) a 210-foot-long, 90-foot-wide tailrace; (4) a 
4.16/34.5 KV substation; and (5) a 1.0-mile-long, 34.5 kV transmission 
line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 
26.7 GWh, and operate run-of-river utilizing surplus water from the
