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 pumped storage project would be comprised of four stages of developments, each with a powerhouse and an upper and lower reservoir. Some of the reservoirs would be included in more than one development; with a lower reservoir for one development serving as an upper reservoir for another. (a) Stage 1 of the project would consist of the following features: (1) A new upper reservoir with a surface area of 45 acres on a 60 acre upland site west of Mount Hope Lake and a total storage capacity of 3,500 to 4,000 acre-feet. The upper reservoir would be filled with water pumped out of the Mount Hope Mine Complex and have a normal maximum water surface elevation of 900 feet mean sea level (msl). The Mount Hope inactive mine would provide access to the lower reservoir located at 1,000 feet below the ground surface; (2) a reinforced concrete intake/outlet structure capable of discharging 1,500 cubic feet per second (cfs); (3) a 10-foot- PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 diameter, 1,300-foot-long reinforced concrete vertical intake shaft; (4) an 8foot-diameter underground penstock; (5) a powerhouse approximately 1,300 feet below ground level containing one reversible pump turbine with a total installed generating capacity of 250 megawatts (MW); (6) a transformer hall; (7) a lower reservoir; (8) a ventilation shaft and ventilation building at the northern end of the lower reservoir; and (9) various ancillary access shafts and tunnels. The proposed Stage 1 would generate over 500 gigawatt-hours per year. (b) Stage 2 of the project would consist of the following features: (1) The lower reservoir utilized in Stage 1, located 1,000 feet below the ground surface, would serve as the upper reservoir in Stage 2 and would have a total storage capacity of 5,000 to 5,800 acre-feet. The upper reservoir would be filled with water pumped out of the Mount Hope Mine Complex and have a normal maximum water surface elevation at 900 feet below the ground surface. The Mount Hope inactive mine would provide access to the lower reservoir located at 1,700 feet below the ground surface; (2) a reinforced concrete intake/outlet structure capable of discharging 1,500 cfs; (3) a 10-footdiameter, 1,000-foot-long reinforced concrete vertical intake shaft; (4) an 8foot-diameter underground penstock; (5) a powerhouse approximately 2,000 feet below ground containing one reversible pump turbine with a total installed generating capacity of 250 MW; (6) a transformer hall; (7) a lower reservoir; (8) a ventilation shaft and ventilation building at the northern end of the lower reservoir; and (9) various ancillary access shafts and tunnels. The proposed Stage 2 would generate over 500 gigawatt-hours per year. (c) Stage 3 of the project would consist of the following features: (1) The lower reservoir utilized in Stage 2, located 1,700 feet below the ground surface, would serve as the upper reservoir in Stage 3 and would have a total storage capacity of 4,000 to 5,000 acre-feet. The upper reservoir would be filled with water pumped out of the Mount Hope Mine Complex and have a normal maximum water surface elevation at 1,600 feet below the ground surface. The Mount Hope inactive mine would provide access to the lower reservoir located at 2,500 feet below the ground surface; (2) a reinforced concrete intake/outlet structure capable of discharging 1,500 cfs; (3) a 10-footdiameter, 1,100-foot-long reinforced concrete vertical intake shaft; (4) an 8foot-diameter underground penstock; (5) a powerhouse approximately 2,800 feet E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM 23MYN1
