Clark Canyon Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On April 21, 2015, Clark Canyon Hydro, LLC, 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 Clark Canyon Dam 
Hydroelectric Project (Clark Canyon Dam Project or project) to be 
located at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Clark Canyon Dam on the 
Beaverhead River, near Dillon, Beaverhead 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 otherwise enter upon lands or waters 
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would utilize the existing Clark Canyon Dam 
and would consist of the following: (1) A new 360-foot-long, 8-foot-
diameter steel penstock within the existing concrete conduit, ending in 
a trifurcation; (2) two new 35-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter penstocks 
extending from the trifurcation to the powerhouse, transitioning to 6-
foot-diameter before entering the powerhouse; (3) a new 10-foot-long, 
8-foot-diameter steel penstock leaving the trifurcation and ending in a 
7-foot-diameter cone value and reducer to control discharge into the 
existing outlet stilling basin; (4) a new 62.5-foot-long, 41-foot-wide 
reinforced concrete powerhouse containing two vertical Francis-type 
turbine/generator units rated for 2.35 megawatts each; (5) two new 17-
foot-long, 15-foot-diameter tailrace channels connecting the pump/
turbine draft tubes with the existing spillway stilling basin; (6) a 
new 1,100-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt (kV) buried transmission line from 
the power house to the substation; (7) a new substation containing 
step-up transformers and switchgear; (8) a new 7.9-mile-long, 69-kV 
transmission line extending from the project substation to the Peterson 
Flat substation (the point of interconnection); and (9) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Clark Canyon Dam 
Project would be 15.4 gigawatt-hours.
