pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of a hydropower project at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)
Barren River Lake Dam, located on the
Barren River in Allen County, 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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners’ express permission.
Barren Hydro’s Project No. 13022–002
would consist of: (1) Lining the existing
outlet structure with a 280-foot-long, 14foot-diameter steel penstock; (2) a new
gate and bifurcation where the penstock

exits the dam; (3) a powerhouse
containing one generating unit with a
total capacity of 6.8 megawatts (MW);
(4) a 110-foot-long, 80-foot-wide
tailrace; and (5) a proposed 0.8-milelong, 12.5 kilo-volt (KV) transmission
line to an existing transmission line.
The proposed project would have an
average annual generation of 24.2
gigawatt-hours (GWh), and operate runof-river utilizing surplus water from the
Barren River Lake Dam, as directed by
the Corps.

structure containing three vertical slide
gates will be constructed at the end of
the existing outlet conduit; (2) a 420foot-long, 10.5-foot-diameter penstock
will be connected to the new bifurcation
structure; (3) a powerhouse, located on
the east side of the dam, containing one
generating unit with a total capacity of
4.8 MW; (4) a 50-foot-long, 130-footwide tailrace; (5) a 4.16/69 KV
substation; (6) a 9.12-mile-long, 69 kV
transmission line and (7) a new 330foot-long access road. The proposed
