The entire project would be located on federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. 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 project would consist of the following: (1) A 176-acre upperreservoir having a total storage capacity of 6,040 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 7,480 feet above mean sea level (msl); (2) a 106-acre lower-reservoir having a total storage capacity of 6,450 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 5,520 feet above msl; (3) a 2,200-foot-long concrete-lined headrace; (4) a 7,250foot-long concrete-lined pressure tunnel; (5) a 2,950-foot-long concretelined tailrace; (6) a pump-powerhouse with four 250-megawatt reversible pump-turbines; (7) a new 4.6-mile-long double-circuit 230-kilovolt (kv) transmission line running from the powerhouse to the Pacific Direct Current Intertie (PDCI); (8) a new secondary interconnection consisting of either: (i) an 18-mile-long, 230-kv transmission line running from the powerhouse to Sierra Pacific Power’s Fort Churchill generating station, parallel to an existing 120-kv transmission line, or (ii) a new 18-milelong, 230-kv transmission line running from the powerhouse to the PDCI and then parallel to the PDCI to the Fort Churchill generating station; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The water for the project would be purchased from entities holding existing water rights PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 and would be identified during the study phase of the permit term. The estimated annual generation of the Black Mountain Project would be 2,628 gigawatt-hours. Applicant Contact: Mr. Mathew Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer, Gridflex Energy, LLC, 1210 W.
