July 7, 2010.

On April 5, 2010, FFP Missouri 2, LLC filed an application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Arkabutla Lake Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the Coldwater River, Tate and DeSoto Counties, Mississippi. 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 Arkabutla Lake Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) An existing 11,500-foot-long dam and dike; (2) a control tower containing four vertical gates connected to a 400-foot-long outlet tunnel; (3) a proposed 50-foot-wide intake structure; (4) a proposed 900-foot-long, 12-foot diameter steel penstock; (5) a proposed reinforced concrete powerhouse containing a 3.5-megawatt turbine/generator; (6) a proposed 0.5-mile-long, 12.5-kilovolt three-phase overhead transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The FFP Missouri 2, LLC, project would have an average annual generation of 17.5 gigawatt-hours.
