Solia 1 Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On June 22, 2022, Solia 1
Hydroelectric, 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 St. Lawrence County Pumped
Storage Project to be located about 1
mile southwest of the City of Pyrites in
St. Lawrence County, New York. 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 consist of
the following: (1) a new upper reservoir
with a surface area of 120 acres and a
storage capacity of 4,500 acre-feet at a
maximum pool elevation of 605 feet
mean sea level created through
construction of a new rock-fill dam; (2)
a new lower reservoir consisting of eight
concentric circular tunnels with a
storage capacity of 4,500 acre-feet at a
depth of 2,500 feet below the ground
surface; (3) a new 100-foot outside
diameter, 18-foot inside diameter
‘‘morning glory’’ shaped vertical intake
located in the upper reservoir; (4) a new
2,800-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter
penstock connecting the upper reservoir
and the underground powerhouse; (5) a
new 200-foot-long, 70-foot-wide, 130foot-high underground powerhouse
PO 00000

containing two 333-megawatt (MW)
reversible pump-turbines with a total
installed capacity of 666 MW; (6) a new
200- to 500-foot-long, 230-kilovolt (kV)
or 765-kV transmission line connecting
the underground transformer gallery
and the new substation to the existing
grid; (7) a new 200-foot-long, 200-footwide substation; (8) a new pumping
facility for providing initial filling water
and makeup water obtained from the
Grass River located within the eastern
part of the project boundary; and (9)
appurtenant facilities. The proposed
project would have an annual
generation of 1,450 gigawatt-hours.

The Townsend Water Power Project
operates in a run-of-river mode with a
continuous minimum flow of 304 cubic
feet per second (cfs), or inflow,
whichever is less. The flow for
operating a single unit is 600 cfs and
minimum river flow for the project
operation is 904 cfs. There is minimal
to no available usable storage behind the
dam and if river flow is less than 904
cfs, all water is spilled over the dam.
The project is typically operated
automatically, but manual operation
may occur during dynamic high-water
events. The project is returned to
automatic operation when flow
decreases.
