    On May 11, 2010, and supplemented on July 20, 2010, Energy 
Exchange, Inc. filed an application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the

diameter pipelines that originate at the Green River headworks at the 
lower end of the Green River Watershed; (2) two new powerhouses to be 
located at two points along the pipelines with one 1.8-megawatt (MW) 
turbine/generating unit at each; (3) a new three-phase transmission 
line (voltage to be determined) connecting to the nearest tie-in point 
of a local utility. The project would produce an estimated average 
annual generation of about 31,000 megawatt-hours.
