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

    On March 21, 2011, AJT Mining Properties, Inc., 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 
Yeldagalga Creek Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located on the 
Yeldagalga Creek, near Haines, in the boroughs of Haines and Juneau, 
Alaska. The project would be located on lands within the Tongass 
National Forest, which is owned and managed by the U.S.D.A. Forest 
Service. 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 10-foot-
high, 50-foot-wide diversion dam; (2) an overflow spillway; (3) a 42-
inch-diameter, 2,500-foot-long penstock; (4) a powerhouse containing a 
generating unit rated at 8 megawatts; (5) a short tailrace; (6) living 
quarters for personnel; (7) a dock and barge landing facility; (8) a 
34.5-kilovolt, 16-mile-long overhead transmission line; and (9) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the project 
would be 31,000 megawatt-hours.
