On July 14, 2009, Free Flow Power
Ohio River 17, LLC filed an application
for a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the
Stouts Pass Hydrokinetic Energy Project,
located on the Atchafalaya River, Saint
Mary Parish, Louisiana. 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) 720 turbine-generator units
configured in a series of turbine arrays
which in turn will be grouped to form
turbine fields; (2) a combination of
freestanding pilings, a floating bargelike platform, or existing shore
infrastructure such as dock pilings onto
which the turbine arrays will be
moored; (3) submersible electric cables
interconnecting the arrays within each
turbine field and transmitting the
turbine field’s generation to a shore
station; (4) several shore stations each
consisting of less than 100 square
meters which will transition the
submersible cabling to the overhead
transmission; (5) a 2.6-mile, 69 kV line
interconnecting the shore stations and
delivering power to the project
substation; and (6) appurtenant
