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

    On December 3, 2020, Kinet, Inc., 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 conventional hydropower 
project located in Anderson, Woodford, and Mercer 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.
    The proposed Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 5 Hydroelectric 
Project would consist of the following: (1) An existing 594-foot-long, 
36-foot-high, timber crib dam with concrete overlay connected to a 390-
foot-long, and 38-foot-wide abandoned navigation lock, which are owned 
by the Kentucky River Authority; (2) a reservoir with a surface area of 
448 acres and a storage capacity of 7,500 acre-feet; (3) five, 
proposed, 32-foot-long, 9-foot-diameter penstocks connected to five 
generating units with a combined capacity of 2.4 megawatts, within the 
existing lock; (4) a proposed powerhouse/control room adjacent to the 
lock; (5) a 30-foot-long by 63-foot-wide tailrace; and (6) a 175-foot-
long, 12.47 kilo-Volt transmission line. The proposed project would 
have an estimated annual generation of 16,243 megawatt-hours.
