Greybull Valley Irrigation District; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 1, 2012, Greybull Valley Irrigation District filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the 
Greybull Valley Dam Hydroelectric Power Project (Greybull Valley Dam 
Project or project) to be located on Roach Gulch, near Meeteetse, Park 
County, Wyoming. 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 utilize the existing Roach Gulch dam and 
reservoir having a total storage capacity of 33,169 acre-feet at a 
normal high water level elevation of 4,953 feet mean sea level and an 
existing 1,150-foot-long, 60-inch-diameter steel penstock, and would 
consist of the following new features: (1) A powerhouse containing two 
turbine/generator units rated at 2.5 megawatts each at 140 feet of net 
head; (2) a 3-mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line extending from 
the project to a transmission line owned by Big Horn Rural Electric 
Company (the point of interconnection); and (3) appurtenant facilities. 
The estimated annual generation of the Greybull Valley Dam Project 
would be 10 gigawatt-hours.
