Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 16, 2014, the San Diego
County Water Authority, California,
filed an application for a preliminary
permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to
study the feasibility of the San Vicente
Pumped Storage Project (Project) to be
located at San Vicente reservoir, in
Lakeside, California. 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 lower reservoir portion of the
proposed project would consist of the
following: (1) The existing San Vicente
reservoir with a storage capacity of
246,000 acre-feet and a surface area of
1,600 acres at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 766 feet above
mean sea level (msl); (2) the existing
1,430-foot-long, 337-foot-high San
Vicente roller compacted concrete (RCC)
gravity dam; (3) a lower reservoir inlet/
outlet structure equipped with trash
racks and one or two slide gates; (4) a
230-kilovolt (kV) substation containing
step-up transformers, circuit breakers,
and disconnect switches; (5) a
switchyard constructed at the point of
interconnection; (6) an approximately 5mile-long, 230-kV overhead or
underground transmission line that

San Diego County Water Authority; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 16, 2014, the San Diego County Water Authority,
California, filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the
feasibility of the San Vicente Pumped Storage Project (Project) to be
located at San Vicente reservoir, in Lakeside, California. 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 lower reservoir portion of the proposed project would consist
of the following: (1) The existing San Vicente reservoir with a storage
capacity of 246,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 1,600 acres at a
normal maximum operating elevation of 766 feet above mean sea level
(msl); (2) the existing 1,430-foot-long, 337-foot-high San Vicente
roller compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam; (3) a lower reservoir
inlet/outlet structure equipped with trash racks and one or two slide
gates; (4) a 230-kilovolt (kV) substation containing step-up
transformers, circuit breakers, and disconnect switches; (5) a
switchyard constructed at the point of interconnection; (6) an
approximately 5-mile-long, 230-kV overhead or underground transmission
line that would extend from the northern end of San Vicente reservoir
to the 230-kV Sycamore substation and interconnect with San Diego Gas
and Electric's 500-kV Sunrise Powerlink; and (7) appurtenant
facilities.
The upper reservoir portion of the proposed project would include
one of the following four alternatives.
Alternative A--Iron Mountain
Alternative Site A, located near Iron Mountain, approximately 3
miles northwest of the San Vicente reservoir, would consist of: (1) A
reservoir with a storage capacity of 6,100 acre-feet and a surface area
of 93 acres at a full pond elevation of 2,110 feet msl; (2) three RCC
saddle dams measuring respectively: (i) 1,425 feet long and 35 feet
high, (ii) 1,340 feet long and 75 feet high, and (iii) 838 feet long
and 15 feet high; (3) a 235-foot-long, 85-foot wide, 131-foot-tall
subsurface powerhouse containing two 250-MW vertical Francis variable
speed reversible pump/turbine/generator units; (4) a 1,358-foot-long,
12-foot-diameter concrete-lined tailrace tunnel; (5) an upper reservoir
inlet/outlet structure; (6) two 171-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter steel-
lined penstocks; (7) a 1,350-foot-long, 230-kV, underground
transmission line extending from the upper reservoir to the northern
end of San Vicente reservoir; and (8) appurtenant facilities. This
alternative would annually generate an estimated 1,022 gigawatt-hours
(GWh).
Alternative B--Foster Canyon
Alternative Site B, located near Foster Canyon, approximately one-
half mile northwest of the San Vicente reservoir, would consist of: (1)
A reservoir with a storage capacity of 7,800 acre-feet and a surface
area of 100 acres at a full pond elevation of 1,490 feet msl; (2) five
RCC saddle dams measuring, respectively: (i) 1,760 feet long and 160
feet high, (ii) 838 feet long and 80 feet high, (iii) 838 feet long and
80 feet high, (iv) 1,006 feet long and 240 feet high, and (v) 3,100

This alternative would annually generate an estimated 1,022 GWh.
Alternative Site C--Northeast
Alternative Site C, located 0.8 mile northeast of the San Vicente
reservoir, would consist of: (1) A reservoir with a storage capacity of
7,700 acre-feet and a surface area of 60 acres at a full pond elevation
of 1,600 feet msl; (2) four RCC saddle dams measuring, respectively:
(i) 1,176 feet long and 260 feet high, (ii)1,508 feet long and 20 feet
high, (iii) 2,500 feet long and 20 feet high, and (iv) 2,700 feet long
and 20 feet high; (3) a 267-foot-long, 93-foot-wide, 179-foot-high
subsurface powerhouse, containing two 250-MW vertical Francis variable

trash racks and one or two slide gates; (6) two 297-foot-long, 22-foot-
diameter steel-lined penstocks; (7) a 1,200-foot-long, 230-kV,
underground transmission line from the upper reservoir to the northern
end of San Vicente reservoir; and (8) appurtenant facilities. This
alternative would annually generate an estimated 1,022 GWh.
Alternative Site D--Southeast
Alternative Site D, located 1.8 miles southeast of the San Vicente
reservoir, would include: (1) A reservoir with a storage capacity of
4,500 acre-feet and a surface area of 80 acres at a full pond elevation
of 1,800 feet msl; (2) a 2,263-foot-long, 285-foot-high RCC dam; (3) a
235-foot-long, 85-foot-wide, 131-foot-tall subsurface powerhouse
containing two 250-MW vertical Francis variable speed reversible pump/
turbine-motor/generator units; (4) a 1,415-foot-long, 13-foot-diameter
concrete-lined tailrace tunnel; (5) an upper reservoir inlet/outlet
structure; (6) two 180-foot-long, 17-foot-diameter steel-lined
penstocks; (7) a 1,400-foot-long, 230-kV, underground transmission line
