FFP Project 111, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 1, 2013, FFP Project 111, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project 
located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Newt Graham Lock 
and Dam, located on the Verdigris River near the town of Inola in 
Wagoner County, Oklahoma. 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) A 770-
foot-long, 300-foot-wide intake channel with a 85-foot-long retaining 
wall; (2) a 100-foot-long overflow bank extension connecting the dam to 
the powerhouse; (3) a 140-foot-long, 90-foot-wide powerhouse, 
containing two generating units with a total capacity of 10.1 
megawatts; (4) a 1,000-foot-long, 220-foot-wide tailrace with a 40-
foot-long retaining wall; (5) a 4.16/99 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; (6) 
a 0.9 mile-long, 99 kV transmission line. The project would have an 
average annual generation of 32, 300 megawatt-hours, and utilize 
surplus water from the Newt Graham Lock and Dam as directed by the 
Corps.
