[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-inchdiameter, 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.
