Premium Energy Holdings, LLC; Notice
of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On June 18, 2019, Premium Energy
Holdings, LLC, filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to
section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the
Pyramid Lake Pumped Storage Project
(Pyramid Lake Project or project) to be
located on Pyramid Lake and Truckee
River, near the community of Nixon,
Washoe County, Nevada. 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: San Emidio Reservoir,
Tohakum Peak Reservoir, or Lake Range
Reservoir. The existing Pyramid Lake
would be the lower reservoir for each
alternative.
Upper Reservoir Alternative 1: San
Emidio Reservoir
The San Emidio alternative consists
of: (1) A 180-acre upper reservoir having
a total storage capacity of 21,550 acrefeet at a normal maximum operating
elevation of 6,700 feet mean sea level
(msl); (2) a 315-foot-high, 2,385-footlong roller compacted concrete upper
