          - [Project No. 13436-000]

On April 27, 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 Quake Lake Hydroelectric Project, which would be located at Quake Lake on the Madison River, in Madison and Gallatin Counties, Montana. The project would be located on U.S. Forest Service and private lands. 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) An existing 1,380-foot-long, 210-foot-high landslide-formed earthen dam; (2) an existing reservoir having a surface area of 636 acres and a storage capacity of approximately 50,000 acre-feet at the normal water surface elevation of 6,395 feet mean sea level; (3) a new 30-foot by 30-foot, 50-foot-high submerged concrete intake; (4) a new 9-foot-diameter, 3,200-foot-long penstock; (5) a new powerhouse containing two generating units with a combined installed capacity of 5.05 megawatts; (6) a new tailrace discharging flows into the Madison River; (7) a new substation; (8) a new 12.5-kilovolt, 4-mile-long transmission line; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 40 gigawatt-hours.
