FFP Project 112, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On January 1, 2013, FFP Project 112, 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) Chouteau Lock and 
Dam, located on the Verdigris River near the town of Okay 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 180-
foot-long, 80-foot-wide intake channel with a 120-foot-long retaining 
wall; (2) a 130-foot-long, 90-foot-wide powerhouse, located on the east 
side of the dam, containing two generating units with a total capacity 
of 11.6 MW; (3) a 100-foot-long, 175-foot-wide tailrace with a 50-foot-
long retaining wall; (4) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 
0.3-mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The proposed project would have 
an average annual generation of 36,900 megawatt-hours, and utilize 
surplus water from the Chouteau Lock and Dam, as directed by the Corps.
