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 project concept envisions the construction of a pumped storage generating facility consisting of: (1) The existing Salt Springs Reservoir (part of PG&E’s currently licensed Mokelumne River Project No. 137) as the lower pool; (2) an upper reservoir using either the existing Upper Bear or Lower Bear River reservoirs (also part of PG&E’s Mokelumne River Project); (3) a 16,000foot to 20,000-foot power tunnel connecting the upper reservoir, pump turbines, and the lower reservoir; (4) an underground powerhouse containing the pump-turbines and motorgenerators; (5) an approximately 3,000foot-long transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. GreenGenStorage states that based on preliminary analyses, the project would have from one to three 380-megawatt generating units and an average annual electricity production of between 523 and 742 gigawatt-hours.
