D. Stephen Sorensen; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

August 14, 2009.
    On April 16, 2009, D. Stephen Sorenson filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Piute Dam Hydro Project 
located on the Sevier River in Piute County, Utah. 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 1,403-foot-long, 80-foot-high earthen Dam; (2) an 
existing reservoir having a surface area of 3,360 acres and a storage 
capacity of 74,000 acre-feet and normal water surface elevation of 
5,990 feet mean sea level; (3) a proposed penstock 4 feet wide and 560 
feet long; (4) a proposed powerhouse containing a 1,543-kilowatt 
turbine generator; (5) a tailrace; (6) a proposed 2,300-foot-long 
overhead transmission line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed Piute Dam Hydro Project would have an average annual 
generation of 4.15 gigawatt-hours.
