May 21, 2010.
On March 4, 2010, 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 Dry Creek
Canal Irrigation Hydroelectric Project.
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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners’ express permission.
The proposed project would consist
of: (1) A new reinforced concrete intake
structure; (2) a new 36-inch-diameter,
2,600-foot-long [polyethylene and/or
steel or PVC] penstock; (3) a new
approximately 35-foot by 35-foot
powerhouse, housing one turbine/
generator unit (with an installed
capacity of 500 kilowatts); (4) a new
substation; and (5) a 100-foot long, 12.47
kilovolt transmission line which will
interconnect with an existing Park
Electric utility line. The estimated
annual generation for this project is 1.7
gigawatt hours.

Duke Energy Indiana, Inc.; Indiana;
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
May 21, 2010.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed the application
for a new license for the Markland
Hydroelectric Project, located at the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)
existing Markland Locks and Dam on
the Ohio River in Switzerland County,
Indiana, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
project. Parts of the project occupy 6.21
acres of federal land administered by
the Corps; Duke Energy Indiana, Inc.
proposes changing the project boundary
to include a total of 10.2 acres of federal
land to accommodate new and existing
project facilities.
The EA contains the staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
continued operation and maintenance of
the project and concludes that
relicensing the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
