Nature and People First Arizona PHS,
LLS; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 5, 2021, Nature and
People First Arizona PHS, LLC (NFPA)
filed an application for a preliminary
permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to
study the feasibility of Black Mesa
Pumped Storage Project South to be
located in Navajo and Apache Counties,
Arizona. 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 8,200 acres and
a total storage capacity of 250,000 acrefeet at a normal maximum operating
elevation of 7,610 feet average mean sea
level (msl); (2) a new lower reservoir
with a surface area of 14,500 acres and
a total storage capacity of 250,000 acrefeet at a normal maximum operating
elevation of 5,810 feet msl; (3) a 13,700foot-long, 23-foot-diameter concrete
lined tunnel and 3,800-foot-long with
three 18-foot-diameter concrete lined
draft tube tunnel penstock connecting
the upper and lower reservoir north to
the powerhouse; (4) a 15,400-foot-long,
23-foot-diameter concrete lined tunnel
and 2,700-foot-long with three 18-footdiameter concrete lined draft tube
tunnel penstock connecting the upper

and lower reservoir middle to the
powerhouse; (5) a 17,500-foot-long, 23foot-diameter concrete lined tunnel and
4,700-foot-long with three 18-footdiameter concrete lined draft tube
tunnel penstock connecting the upper
and lower reservoir south to the
powerhouse; (6) three 320-foot-long, 60foot-wide and 100-foot-high new
underground powerhouses containing
three turbine-generator units each with
a total rated capacity of 2,250
megawatts; (7) a new 110-mile-long,
230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
connecting the powerhouses to existing
San Juan substation; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual power generation at the Black
Mesa Pumped Storage South would be
4,027.5 gigawatt-hours.

Submissions sent via any other carrier

emailed to Commission staff are not
considered part of the Commission
record.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor 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. Description of Request: The
licensee proposes to replace and
refurbish project equipment which
would require an amendment to the
license to update the project description
(Exhibit A), Exhibit F drawings, and the
Article 404 Flow Continuation Plan to
reflect the proposed project
modifications and describe the method
for delivering water to the Crystal Lake
Hatchery during an extended project
outage. The licensee proposes to replace
generating equipment (Unit 3) and to
decommission Units 1 and 2. The
project currently consists of two
powerhouses containing generating
units with rated capacities of 1,600
kilowatts (kW) and 400 kW. The
upgraded project generating equipment
would consist of a new turbine
generator with a rated capacity of 1,822
kW and the generating unit would be
housed in a single powerhouse (Unit 3).
The second powerhouse and its
generating equipment (Unit 1 and 2)
would be decommissioned. The
applicant states the major generating
equipment (turbine, generator, and
governor) is reaching the end of its
service life and needs replacement.
Additionally, the penstock leading to
the primary powerhouse that would be
used to house the upgraded generating
equipment requires repairs to provide
extended service life. The proposed
changes to the generating equipment
would result in an increase in the
maximum hydraulic capacity of less
than 15 percent and an increase in

name-plate capacity of less than 2
megawatts.
