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 closed-loop pumped storage project would consist of: (1) A new 4,728-foot-long, 202-foot-high roller compacted concrete gravity dam impounding a new upper reservoir with a surface area of 93.8 acres, and a total storage capacity of 9,100 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 6,176 feet above average mean sea level (msl); (2) a new 2,638-foot-long, 132foot-high zoned fill/rockfill embankment dam (Main Dam), a new 4,071-foot-long, 64-foot-high saddle dam (Saddle Dam #1), a new 2,104-foot-long, 58-foot-high saddle dam (Saddle Dam #2), and a new 55-foot-long, 8-foot-high saddle dam (Saddle Dam #3) impounding a new lower reservoir a surface area of 322 acres, and a total storage capacity of 17,436 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 5,630 feet msl; (3) a new 29,000-footlong, 48-inch-diameter concrete reinforced diversion pipeline for water delivery from the Arkansas River to the lower reservoir; (4) a new 6,500-footlong, 18- to 20-foot-diameter penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (5) a new 50,000 square foot powerhouse containing four 125megawatt reversible pump/turbine generators; and (6) a new 230-kilovolt (kV) substation that will connect to the grid via one of three pathways: (a) Interconnection with the existing 230kV Western Area Power Authority transmission line that bisects the project site; (b) interconnect with the Xcel transmission and distribution network PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5473 at the Midway substation (would require 28-mile-long project transmission line); or (c) interconnection with the Colorado Springs Utility transmission and distribution network at the Nixon substation (would require approximately 33-mile-long project transmission line). The estimated annual power generation at the Phantom Pumped Storage Project would be between 800,00 and 2,800,000 megawatt hours. Applicant Contact: Mr. Peter A.

Ortus Power Resources Colorado, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 9, 2021, Ortus Power Resources Colorado, 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 Phantom 
Canyon Pumped Storage Project to be located near the Town of Penrose, 
in Fremont, Pueblo, and El Paso Counties, Colorado. 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 closed-loop pumped storage project would consist of: 
(1) A new 4,728-foot-long, 202-foot-high roller compacted concrete 
gravity dam impounding a new upper reservoir with a surface area of 
93.8 acres, and a total storage capacity of 9,100 acre-feet at a normal 
maximum operating elevation of 6,176 feet above average mean sea level 
(msl); (2) a new 2,638-foot-long, 132-foot-high zoned fill/rockfill 
embankment dam (Main Dam), a new 4,071-foot-long, 64-foot-high saddle 
dam (Saddle Dam #1), a new 2,104-foot-long, 58-foot-high saddle dam 
(Saddle Dam #2), and a new 55-foot-long, 8-foot-high saddle dam (Saddle 
Dam #3) impounding a new lower reservoir a surface area of 322 acres, 
and a total storage capacity of 17,436 acre-feet at a normal maximum 
operating elevation of 5,630 feet msl; (3) a new 29,000-foot-long, 48-
inch-diameter concrete reinforced diversion pipeline for water delivery 
from the Arkansas River to the lower reservoir; (4) a new 6,500-foot-
long, 18- to 20-foot-diameter penstock connecting the upper and lower 
reservoirs; (5) a new 50,000 square foot powerhouse containing four 
125-megawatt reversible pump/turbine generators; and (6) a new 230-
kilovolt (kV) substation that will connect to the grid via one of three 
pathways: (a) Interconnection with the existing 230-kV Western Area 
Power Authority transmission line that bisects the project site; (b) 
interconnect with the Xcel transmission and distribution network at the 
Midway substation (would require 28-mile-long project transmission 
line); or (c) interconnection with the Colorado Springs Utility 
transmission and distribution network at the Nixon substation (would 
require approximately 33-mile-long project transmission line). The 
estimated annual power generation at the Phantom Pumped Storage Project 
would be between 800,00 and 2,800,000 megawatt hours.
