On March 24, 2016, Black Mountain

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 closed-loop pumped
storage project would consist of the
following: (1) An upper reservoir in a
natural depression having a total storage
capacity of 4,460 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 7,410
feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 105-foottall, 1,500-foot-long lower dam of
indeterminate construction; (3) a lower
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 4,384 acre-feet at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 5,500 feet msl; (4)
a 2,200-foot-long, 16.5-foot-diameter,

concrete low pressure tunnel; (5) a
7,850-foot-long 16.5-foot-diameter
concrete and steel lined high pressure
tunnel; (6) a 2,200-foot-long, 20-footdiameter concrete lined tailrace; (7) a
300-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 50-feet-high
underground powerhouse containing
three 200–MW pump-turbine generator
units; (8) a 4.6-mile-long 230-kV
transmission line; (9) a 230/500 kV
substation; and (10) appurtenant
facilities. The estimated annual
generation of the Southern Intertie
Project would be 1,577 gigawatt-hours.
