Hydrodynamics, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

May 21, 2010. 

On March 4, 2010, 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 Dry Creek 

Canal Irrigation Hydroelectric Project. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) A new reinforced concrete intake 

structure; (2) a new 36-inch-diameter, 

2,600-foot-long [polyethylene and/or 

steel or PVC] penstock; (3) a new 

approximately 35-foot by 35-foot 

powerhouse, housing one turbine/ 

generator unit (with an installed 

capacity of 500 kilowatts); (4) a new 

substation; and (5) a 100-foot long, 12.47 

kilovolt transmission line which will 

interconnect with an existing Park 

Electric utility line. The estimated 

annual generation for this project is 1.7 

gigawatt hours.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2211–004] 

Duke Energy Indiana, Inc.; Indiana; 

Notice of Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

May 21, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 

Projects has reviewed the application 

for a new license for the Markland 

Hydroelectric Project, located at the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) 

existing Markland Locks and Dam on 

the Ohio River in Switzerland County, 

Indiana, and has prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

project. Parts of the project occupy 6.21 

acres of federal land administered by 

the Corps; Duke Energy Indiana, Inc. 

proposes changing the project boundary 

to include a total of 10.2 acres of federal 

land to accommodate new and existing 

project facilities. 

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

continued operation and maintenance of 

the project and concludes that 

relicensing the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

A copy of the EA is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
