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

September 4, 2009.
    On May 19, 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 Bear Creek Hydroelectric 
Project, which would be located on Bear Creek, in Park 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

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 
36-inch-diameter, 2.3-mile-long steel penstock; (4) a new powerhouse 
containing one generating unit with an installed capacity of 1.5 
megawatts; (5) a new tailrace discharging flows into Bear Creek; (6) a 
new substation; (7) a new 69-kilovolt, 1,500-foot-long transmission 
line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have 
an average annual generation of 7.0 gigawatt-hours.
