Millwood Hydro AE, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On April 8, 2026, as supplemented on May 21, 2026, Millwood Hydro 
AE, LLC (the applicant), filed an application for a preliminary permit, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to 
study the feasibility of the Millwood Hydroelectric Project (or 
project). The proposed project would be located at the existing U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Millwood Dam on the Little River in 
Little River and Hempstead Counties, 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 project would consist of the following: (1) a new 150-
foot-long by 220-foot-wide forebay located immediately upstream from 
the existing Corps dam; (2) two new penstocks, 7.5-foot in diameter and 
180-foot long; (3) a new 220-foot-long by 100-foot-wide by 30-foot-high 
reinforced concrete powerhouse housing two 9.0 megawatt turbines; (4) a 
new 60-foot-long by 60-foot-wide substation adjacent to the powerhouse; 
(5) a new 300-foot-long by 300-foot-wide tailrace area; (6) a new 
4,700-foot long transmission line interconnecting to existing Southwest 
Electric Power company 138-kilovolt line. The project is estimated to 
generate an average of 88,000 megawatt-hours annually.
