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

[[Page 55546]]

Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the East 
Rosebud Hydro Project, which would be located on East Rosebud Creek, 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 right side of the dam; (3) a new 
42-inch-diameter, 2.2-mile-long steel penstock; (4) a new powerhouse 
containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 6 
megawatts; (5) a new tailrace discharging flows into East Rosebud 
Creek; (6) a new substation; (7) a new 50-kilovolt, 3.6-mile-long 
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project 
would have an average annual generation of 40 gigawatt-hours.

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