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

June 11, 2009.
    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.
