"There will be many opportunities for the public to comment," he added.

The hydropower projects include Little Creek Development for 18 megawatts; the Hurricane Cliffs Pumped Storage Development that would include two reservoirs and produce 415 megawatts; and the Sand Hollow Development, which would produce 10 megawatts.

If the preliminary permit is issued the state could begin work on an economic analysis, preparation of preliminary engineering plans and a study of environmental impacts.

Anyone seeking to intervene or compete for the right to develop the hydropower that could be produced from the Lake Powell Pipeline project must file a notice with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by the end of the year.

More information about the project can be found online at water.utah.gov.
