Description of Request: Alabama Power Company (APC) is requesting a temporary variance of the Jordan Dam Project’s operation relating to minimum flow requirements due to anticipated drought conditions in the southeast, and to ensure, to the extent possible, that there will be sufficient water available in the Coosa River to support both reservoir and downstream environmental, municipal and industrial water supply and navigation needs. APC is requesting a variance to release from Jordan Dam no less than a continuous flow of 2,000 cfs, ± 5 percent, from the issuance date of an order by the Commission through December 31, 2011. The licensee indicates that, in 2011, it would be its intent to provide flows as close to normal operation as possible, while maintaining flexibility to adjust to changing drought conditions. Any adjustments that involve a reduction in flows from Jordan Dam will be achieved by ramping down the flows at an acceptable rate until the new target flow is achieved. The licensee is also proposing to facilitate conference calls with the resource agencies to discuss project flow releases and operations and to address drought-related issues. APC would also provide appropriate notice to the public of periods in which flows below the dam may be modified. l.

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 pipeline project would consist of building and operating 139 miles of 69-inch-diameter pipeline and penstock; 35 miles of 48- to 30-inchdiameter pipeline; 6 miles of 24-inchdiameter pipeline; a combined conventional peaking and pumped storage hydro station; five conventional in-line hydro stations; and transmission lines on federal, state, and private lands in Kane, Washington, and Iron counties, Utah, and in Coconino and Mohave Counties, Arizona. Starting at Lake Powell, a water intake would convey water from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Lake Powell up to a high point within the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument. From there, the water would go through a series of hydroelectric turbines, ending at Sand Hollow reservoir, near St. George, Utah. To serve Iron County, the project includes another pipeline, the Cedar Valley Pipeline System, from the Hurricane Cliffs afterbay reservoir to Cedar Valley in Iron County, Utah. PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The applicant proposes to study the generating capacity and energy storage options into the development phase and these will need to be optimized to best suit the physical site and electrical system conditions. At present, the following energy generation components are being studied: (1) An inline single unit, 1-megawatt (MW) facility at Hydro Station 1 in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument; (2) an inline single unit, 1.7–MW facility at Hydro Station 2 east of Colorado City, Arizona; (3) an inline single unit, 1–MW facility in Hildale City, Utah; (4) an inline single unit, 1.7– MW facility above the Hurricane Cliffs forebay reservoir; (5) a 2-unit, 300–MW (150 MW each unit) hydroelectric pumped storage development at Hurricane Cliffs, with the forebay and afterbay sized to provide ten hours of continuous 300–MW output; (6) a single unit, 35–MW conventional energy recovery generation unit built within the Hurricane Cliffs development; and (7) a single unit, 5–MW facility at the existing Sand Hollow reservoir.
