of the Castle Creek Hydroelectric Project to be located on Castle 
Creek, near the town of Aspen, Pitkin County, Colorado. The project 
would affect federal lands administered by the 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

downstream toe, has a total storage capacity of 15 acre-feet and a 
water surface area of 0.6 acre at full pool elevation of 8,175 feet 
above mean sea level. The penstock consists of a 42-inch-diameter, 
4,000-foot-long pipeline connecting the reservoir to the proposed 
powerhouse.
    The proposed powerhouse would be located adjacent to the original 
hydroelectric plant, with a single shaft Pelton turbine, producing
