Alpine Pacific Utilities, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On January 22, 2016, Alpine Pacific Utilities, 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
Fresno Dam Site Water Power Project (Fresno Dam Project or project) to
be located in Hill County, Montana near the town of Kremlin at the
existing Bureau of Reclamation Fresno Dam located on the Milk River.
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 outlet structure on
Fresno Dam. The proposed project would consist of the following new
facilities: (1) A 48-inch-diameter, 100-foot-long bifurcated penstock
leading from the existing outlet works; (2) a powerhouse containing two
turbines/generating units with a combined installed capacity of 1.348
megawatts; (3) a tailrace discharging flows into the existing dam
spillway; (4) a transformer in a 25-square-foot switchyard; (5) an
approximately 1-mile-long, 12.74-kilovolt overhead transmission line
connecting to existing Hill County Electric and Northwest Electric
transmission systems; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an average annual generation of 4,700 megawatt-hours
