Greybull Valley Irrigation District; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications
On February 1, 2012, Greybull Valley Irrigation District 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 Greybull Valley Dam Hydroelectric Power Project (Greybull Valley Dam Project or project) to be located on Roach Gulch, near Meeteetse, Park County, Wyoming. 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 Roach Gulch dam and reservoir having a total storage capacity of 33,169 acre-feet at a normal high water level elevation of 4,953 feet mean sea level and an existing 1,150-foot-long, 60-inch-diameter steel penstock, and would consist of the following new features: (1) A powerhouse containing two turbine/generator units rated at 2.5 megawatts each at 140 feet of net head; (2) a 3-mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line extending from the project to a transmission line owned by Big Horn Rural Electric Company (the point of interconnection); and (3) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Greybull Valley Dam Project would be 10 gigawatt-hours.
