Commission
[Project No. 14993–000]
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing
Applications; Premium Energy
Holdings, LLC
On May 9, 2019, Premium Energy
Holdings, 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 Intermountain Pumped Storage
Project (Intermountain Project or
project) to be located on the Sevier River
and Fool Creek, near the city of Delta,
Millard County, Utah. 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 be a
closed-loop pumped storage
hydropower facility. The applicant
proposes three alternative upper
reservoirs: Dry Fork Reservoir, Mill
Canyon Reservoir, or Williams
Reservoir. The proposed DMAD 2
Reservoir would be the lower reservoir
for each alternative.
Upper Reservoir Alternative 1: Dry
Fork Reservoir
The Dry Fork Reservoir alternative
consists of: (1) A 277-acre upper
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 39,612 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 6,200
feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 370-foothigh, 2,637-foot-long roller compacted
concrete upper reservoir dam; (3) a 1.2mile-long, 38-foot-diameter concretelined headrace tunnel; (4) a 0.16-milelong, 34-foot-diameter concrete-lined
vertical shaft; (5) a 7.05-mile-long, 34foot-diameter concrete-lined horizontal
tunnel; (6) five 0.10-mile-long, 22-footdiameter steel penstocks; (7) a 500-footlong, 125-foot-wide, 150-foot-high
concrete-lined powerhouse located in
an underground cavern, housing five
pump-turbine generator-motor units
rated for 400 megawatts (MW) each; and
(8) a 1.2-mile-long, 40-foot-diameter
concrete-lined tailrace tunnel
discharging into the proposed DMAD 2
Reservoir.

Upper Reservoir Alternative 2: Mill
Canyon Reservoir
The Mill Canyon Reservoir alternative
consists of: (1) A 210-acre upper
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 30,344 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 6,600
feet msl; (2) a 385-foot-high, 2,223-footlong roller compacted concrete upper
reservoir dam; (3) a 1.15-mile-long, 34foot-diameter concrete-lined headrace
tunnel; (4) a 0.28-mile-long, 30-footdiameter concrete-lined vertical shaft;
(5) a 7.6-mile-long, 30-foot-diameter
concrete-lined horizontal tunnel; (6) five
0.15-mile-long, 19-foot-diameter steel
penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long, 125-footwide, 150-foot-high concrete-lined
powerhouse located in an underground
cavern, housing five pump-turbine
generator-motor units rated for 400 MW
each; and (8) a 1.7-mile-long, 36-footdiameter concrete-lined tailrace tunnel
discharging into the proposed DMAD 2
Reservoir.

Upper Reservoir Alternative 3:
Williams Reservoir
The Williams Reservoir alternative
consists of: (1) A 180-acre upper
reservoir having a total storage capacity
of 28,063 acre-feet at a normal
maximum operating elevation of 7,140
feet msl; (2) a 475-foot-high, 1,850-footlong roller compacted concrete upper
reservoir dam; (3) a 1.1-mile-long, 30foot-diameter concrete-lined headrace
tunnel; (4) a 0.4-mile-long, 27-footdiameter concrete-lined vertical shaft;
(5) a 10.05-mile-long, 27-foot-diameter
concrete-lined horizontal tunnel; (6) five
0.10-mile-long, 17-foot-diameter steel
penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long, 125-footwide, 150-foot-high concrete-lined
powerhouse located in an underground
cavern, housing five pump-turbine
generator-motor units rated for 400 mW
each; and (8) a 2.3-mile-long, 32-footdiameter concrete-lined tailrace tunnel
discharging into the proposed DMAD 2
Reservoir.
Lower Reservoir: DMAD 2 Reservoir
The proposed DMAD 2 Reservoir
would consist of: (1) A 3,186-acre lower
reservoir having a total storage capacity
48,915 acre-feet at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 4,700 feet msl;
and (2) a 45-foot-high, 2,142-foot-long
roller compacted concrete lower
reservoir dam.
Interconnection
For each upper reservoir alternative,
project power would be transmitted to
the grid via: (1) Two new,
approximately 11-mile-long, 345
kilovolt (kV) transmission lines
extending from the powerhouse to the

existing Intermountain AC switchyard
owned by Intermountain Power (the
point of interconnection); and (2)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the Intermountain
Project under each of the alternatives
would be 6,900 gigawatt-hours.

Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review of the Kinder Morgan
Louisiana Pipeline LLC Acadiana
Project and Columbia Gulf
Transmission, LLC Louisiana Xpress
Project
On June 28, 2019, Kinder Morgan
Louisiana Pipeline LLC (KMLP) filed an
application in Docket No. CP19–484–
000 requesting a Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity pursuant to
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to
construct and operate certain natural gas
pipeline facilities in Louisiana. The
proposed project is known as the
Acadiana Project, and would increase
the north-south natural gas delivery
capacity on its pipeline system by
approximately 894 million cubic feet
per day. According to KMLP, its project
would meet the needs of Sabine Pass
Liquefaction, LLC at its liquefied natural
gas export terminal in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana.
On July 16, 2019, Columbia Gulf
Transmission, LLC (Columbia Gulf)
filed an application in Docket No.
CP19–488–000 requesting a Certificate
of Public Convenience and Necessity
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural
Gas Act to construct and operate certain
natural gas pipeline facilities in
Louisiana. The proposed project is
known as the Louisiana Xpress Project,
and would provide open access firm
transportation of about 850 million
cubic feet of natural gas per day from a
primary receipt point at Columbia Gulf’s
Mainline Pool to a primary delivery
point at an interconnection with KMLP
in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana.
On July 12, 2019, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission or
FERC) issued its Notice of Application
(NOA) for the Acadiana Project, and on
July 26, 2019, FERC issued its NOA for
the Louisiana Xpress Project. Among
other things, the notices alerted agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the
requirement to complete all necessary
reviews and reach a final decision on a
request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance
of the Commission staff’s Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the projects. This
instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s
planned schedule for the completion of
the combined EA for both projects.
