On April 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 Cannelton Hydrokinetic Project, located on the Ohio River, in Hancock County, Kentucky, and Perry County, Indiana. 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: (1) A 100 to 300-foot-long by 20 to 52-foot-wide barge spudded down to the riverbed; (2) 10 6–8-foot-long by 6–8foot-diameter turbine-generators mounted in line along the side of the barge; (3) one armored, high-voltage cable transmitting the generated power to the existing transmission line located adjacent to the proposed project area; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would generate about 1,533 megawatt-hours. 1 View EAC Regulations Implementing Government in the Sunshine Act.
