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

October 21, 2009.
    On July 7, 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 West Rosebud Hydro Project, 
which would be located on West Rosebud Creek, approximately 800 feet 
downstream of Emerald Lake, in Carbon 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 8-
foot-high, 100-foot-long concrete diversion dam; (2) a new 7-foot-wide, 
30-foot-long intake extending from the left side of the dam; (3) a new 
42-inch-diameter, 2.3-mile-long steel penstock; (4) a new powerhouse 
containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 3 
megawatts; (5) a new tailrace discharging flows into West Rosebud 
Creek; (6) a new substation; (7) a new 50-kilovolt, 300-foot-long 
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project 
would have an average annual generation of 21 gigawatt-hours.

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