On May 22, 2009, Hydrodynamics, Inc. filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Fresno Reservoir Hydroelectric Project, which would be located at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) existing Fresno dam on the Milk River, in Hill County, Montana. 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 72-inchdiameter, 80-foot-long steel pipe bifurcating from the existing dam outlet works; (2) a new powerhouse containing two generating units with a combined installed capacity of 2.0 megawatts; (3) a new tailrace discharging flows into the Milk River; (4) a new substation; (5) a new 69-kilovolt, 2.6-mile-long transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 7.7 gigawatt-hours.
