Maynard Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On June 3, 2025, Maynard Hydroelectric, LLC, 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 hydropower project 
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Colonel 
Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam, on the Arkansas River, Jeffersons 
County, Arkansas. 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 Colonel Charles D. Maynard Lock and Dam Hydroelectric 
Project would consist of the following: (1) a 150-foot-wide, 100-foot-
long armored intake structure; (2) a 150-foot-wide, 200-foot-long 
reinforced concrete powerhouse located adjacent to southwestern 
abutment within the spillway, containing three identical pit turbine 
generators with a combined net capacity of 25.7-megawatt; (3) a 150-
foot-long, 150-foot-wide dredged tailrace channel; (4) an existing 
abutment wall that would be reinforced as a retaining wall to allow 
access from the powerhouse to the equipment access tower, and (4) a 
1.25 mile-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line. The proposed project 
would have an estimated annual generation of 171.75 gigawatt-hours.
