14861–002).
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all interveners
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person on the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervener
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. The application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
l. The project would include the
following new facilities: (1) A 61-acre
upper reservoir formed by a 175-foothigh, 8,000-foot-long rockfill
embankment dam at an elevation of
2,950 feet mean sea level (MSL) with a
vertical concrete intake-outlet structure;
(2) a 63-acre lower reservoir formed by
a 205-foot-high, 6,100-foot-long
embankment at an elevation of 590 feet
MSL with a horizontal concrete intakeoutlet structure and vertical steel slide
gates; (3) an underground conveyance
tunnel system connecting the two
reservoirs consisting of a 2,200-footlong, 29-foot-diameter concrete-lined
vertical shaft, a 3,300-foot-long, 29-footdiameter concrete-lined high pressure
tunnel, a 200-foot-long, 22-foot-diameter
high pressure manifold tunnel, three
600-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter steel/
concrete penstocks, three 200-foot-long,
20-foot-diameter steel-lined draft tube
tunnels with bonneted slide gates, a
200-foot-long, 26-foot-diameter
concrete-lined low-pressure tunnel, and
a 3,200-foot-long, 30-foot-diameter
concrete-lined tailrace tunnel; (4) an
underground powerhouse located
between the upper and lower reservoir
in a 0.83-acre powerhouse cavern
containing three, 400-megawatt (MW)
E:\FR\FM\23DEN1.SGM
23DEN1
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices
Francis-type pump-turbine units for a
total installed capacity of 1,200 MW; (5)
a 0.48-acre underground transformer
cavern adjacent to the powerhouse
containing intermediate step-up
transformers that will step up the
voltage from 18 kilovolts (kV) to 115 kV;
(6) two 30-foot-diameter tunnels for
accessing the powerhouse and
transformer caverns; (7) a 0.84-milelong, 115-kV underground transmission
line extending from the transformer
gallery through the combined access/
transmission tunnel to where it emerges
aboveground near the west side of the
lower reservoir and extending an
additional 0.27 miles to an outdoor 7.3acre substation/switchyard where the
voltage would be stepped up to 500 kV;
(8) a 3.13-mile-long, 500-kV
transmission line routed from the
substation/switchyard south across the
Columbia River and connecting to
Bonneville Power Administration’s
existing John Day Substation; (9) a
buried 30-inch-diameter water fill line
leading from a shut-off and throttling
valve within a non-project water supply
vault owned by Klickitat Public Utility
District (KPUD) to an outlet structure
within the lower reservoir to convey
water to fill the reservoirs; and (10)
appurtenant facilities. The project
would also include an existing 0.7-mile
road for accessing the lower reservoir
site and an existing 8.6-mile-long road
for accessing the upper reservoir site
both of which may be modified to
provide access for construction vehicles.
The water supply used to initially fill
the lower reservoir as well as to provide
make-up water would be purchased
from KPUD and would be obtained from
KPUD’s existing intake pond on the
Columbia River. The project water fill
line would connect to a new KPUDowned flanged water supply service
connection in a water supply vault
located near the lower reservoir. Within
the vault, and just downstream of the
service connection, there would be a
project shut-off and throttling valve to
allow control of the initial fill and
make-up water flow rate into the lower
reservoir. The initial fill would require
7,640 acre-feet of water and would be
completed in about six months at an
average flow rate of approximately 21
cubic feet per second (maximum flow
rate available is 35 cubic feet per
second). It is estimated that the project
would need 360 acre-feet of water each
year to replenish water lost through
evaporation.

available for review via the internet
