Southeast Oklahoma Power
Corporation; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing
and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
1. On July 31, 2018, Southeast
Oklahoma Power Corporation, 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 Southeast Oklahoma
Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project
(project) to be located on the Kiamichi
River, near the town of Whitesboro, in
LeFlore County, Oklahoma. 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.
2. The proposed project would consist
of the following: (1) A 2,165-foot-long,
302-foot-high concrete-faced rockfill
upper dam with a 196.85-foot-long
emergency spillway with a 600-foot1 Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C., 162

long, 30-foot-wide channel; (2) an upper
reservoir with a surface area of 488.52
acres and a storage capacity of 43,633
acre-feet; (3) a 98.4-foot-long, 39.4-foothigh concrete upper intake/outlet
structure; (4) a 6,370-foot-long, 27.8foot-diameter steel and concrete
headrace tunnel; (5) a 545-foot-long, 90foot-wide, 185.4-foot-high underground
concrete pumping station/powerhouse
containing four pump/generating units
with a total capacity of 1,200 megawatts;
(6) a 7,439-foot-long, 27.8-foot-diameter
tailrace tunnel; (7) a 98.4-foot-long,
39.4-foot-high concrete lower intake/
outlet structure; (8) a 9,957-foot-long,
52.5-foot-high earthen lower dam with a
33-foot-long, 13-foot-high emergency
spillway with a 1,640-foot-long tunnel
to the Kiamichi River; (9) a lower
reservoir with a surface area of 727
acres, and a storage capacity of 37,965
acre-feet; (10) two 20-inch-diameter,
675-foot-long pipes with 110 kilowatt
pumps from the lower reservoir to the
regulating reservoir; (11) a regulating
reservoir with a surface area of 40 acres,
and a storage capacity of 1,216 acre-feet;
(12) two 20-inch-diameter, 690-foot-long
pipes with two 110 kilowatt pumps
from the Kiamichi River to the
regulating reservoir; (13) a 40-foot-long,
40-foot-wide funnel shaped intake
structure on the Kiamichi River, located
1.5-foot above the bottom of the
Kiamichi River tapering down to 10foot-long, 10-foot-wide section where it
connects to the two pipes; and (14) a
124-mile-long transmission line to the
Electric Reliability Council of Texas
grid.
The proposed project would relocate
State Road 248 (Post Oar Road) and
583rd Street because the lower reservoir
would otherwise inundate them. The
proposed project would have an
estimated average annual generation of
4,368,000 megawatt-hours.
