Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
Black Canyon Hydro, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On June 13, 2016, the Black Canyon
Hydro, LLC 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
Seminoe Pumped Storage Project
(project) to be located at the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Seminoe
Reservoir on the North Platte River, near
Rawlins, Carbon County, Wyoming. The
project would occupy lands managed by
the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the
U.S. 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) Two new intake
structures located in Reclamation’s
20,291-acre Seminoe Reservoir; (2) two
new concrete-faced, rock-fill upper
reservoirs—one 85 acres and one 63
acres—located on either side of, and
about 1,000 feet above, Seminoe
Reservoir; (3) a 3,000-foot-long, 18.8foot diameter, low pressure tunnel and
1,250-foot-long, 18.8-foot-diameter,
pressure shaft leading to a 250-foot-long,
65-foot-wide, 170-foot-high powerhouse
located 1,300 feet east of Seminoe
Reservoir in an underground cavern
with a 2,800-foot-long access tunnel and
a 1,300-foot-long, 22.6-foot wide
tailrace; (5) a 1,300-foot-long, 22.6-footdiameter, low pressure tunnel and
1,800-foot-long, 16.1-foot-diameter
pressure shaft leading to a 220-foot-long,
55-foot-wide, 120-foot-high powerhouse
located 2,800 feet north-northwest of
Seminoe reservoir in an underground
cavern with a 800-foot-long access
tunnel and a 2,800-foot-long, 19.3-footdiameter tailrace; (6) three 133.3megawatt (MW) adjustable-speed,
reversible pump turbines in the east
powerhouse; and (7) three 100-MW
adjustable-speed reversible pumpturbines in the west powerhouse. The
project would also include a doublecircuit, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission
line connecting either at PacifiCorp’s
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
planned Aeolus Substation located
northwest of Medicine Bow, Wyoming,
or the planned northern terminal for the
TransWest Express DC Line near
Sinclair, Wyoming. If the Aeolus
interconnection alternative is built, the
line would parallel the existing Western
Area Power Administration’s (WAPA)
Miracle Mile-Cheyenne-Ault 230-kV
transmission line. If the TransWest
interconnection alternative is built, the
line would parallel or consist of a
rebuild of the existing WAPA Miracle
Mile-Sinclair, 115 kV transmission line.
The estimated annual generation would
be 1,839,600 MW-hours.
