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

September 4, 2009.
    On May 19, 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 Bear Creek Hydroelectric 
Project, which would be located on Bear Creek, in Park County, Montana.

megawatts; (5) a new tailrace discharging flows into Bear Creek; (6) a 
new substation; (7) a new 69-kilovolt, 1,500-foot-long transmission
