[Project No. 13474-000]


Hydrodynamics, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

September 3, 2009.
    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-
inch-diameter, 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.

Inc., P.O. Box 1136, Bozeman, MT 59771; phone: (406) 587-5086.
