Bishop Paiute Tribe; Notice of
Competing Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliting Comments and Motions To
Intervene
April 21, 2010.
On November 3, 2008, the Bishop
Paiute Tribe 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
Bishop Paiute Hydroelectric Project to
be located on a new penstock between
the base of a mine and Morgan Creek in
Inyo County, California. The proposed
project would be located within the
Inyo National Forest on lands of the
U.S. Forest Service. 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.
