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 proposed project would consist of the existing Porcupine reservoir, powerhouse with three turbines, and a 12.5-kilovolt transmission line. The reservoir, formed by a 181-foot-high by 665-foot-long, earth-filled embankment, has a total storage capacity of 13,000 acre-feet and a water surface area of 190 acres at full pool elevation of 5,383 feet above mean sea level. The turbines total 560 kilowatts (kW) (2 units x 235 kW and 1 unit x 90 kW) of generating capacity producing roughly 2,500 megawatt-hours per year. The proposed penstock would be located within a close proximity to the original penstock, which was removed in 1999. The turbines would be evaluated to determine feasibility of increasing energy production capacity to 750 kW.
