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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission. The project would consist of the following: (1) An upper dam with a height of 180 feet, a crest length of 1,970 feet, forming a reservoir having a total storage capacity of 10,680 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 3,570 feet above mean sea level (msl); (2) a secondary upper dam with a height of 110 feet, a crest length of 1,512 feet; (3) a lower dam with a height of 10 to 110 feet, a crest length of 10,040 feet, forming a reservoir having a total storage capacity of 9,500 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 2,420 feet msl; (4) 7,060 feet of conduit; (5) a powerhouse containing one 250megawatt (MW), one 100-MW, and one 50-MW reversible pump turbine, tentatively located just west of the lower reservoir, at approximately a depth of 250 feet below ground level; and (6) a new 5.3-mile-long, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to either the existing Marketplace, McCullough, or Eldorado substations. The tentative source for initial fill of water and evaporation compensation would be the Southern Nevada Water Authority. The specific routing for that water delivery would be identified during the study period. The estimated annual generation of the project would be 1,226 gigawatt-hours.
