Based on our recent experience with the relicensing of a hydroelectric facility in Michigan, it is estimated <br />that the process could cost between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The actual costs will be highly dependent <br />upon the position of the stakeholders and the studies that are required. <br />Attached as Appendix 2-2 are the table of contents and some selected sections from a Draft License <br />Application for Minor Water Power Project, Minnesota Falls Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. <br />10336-00 and Initial Consultation Package Orienta Hydro Project FERC Project No. 10781-00. <br />The City of Granite Falls held the preliminary permit for the Minnesota Falls dam at the time the draft <br />license application was submitted. Dahlberg Light and Power Company was seeking the preliminary <br />permit when the initial consultation package was submitted. These two documents provide examples of <br />the level of effort that was required for these two projects and might represent the level of effort required <br />for the Lake Orono Dam. <br />P:\Mpls\23 MN\71\2371089 Elk River Municipal-Orono DamlWorkFileslReportlLake Orono Dam Assessment Report.doc <br />
