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 Heard County Pumped Storage Project would consist of the following: (1) a 20-foot-long, 30-footdeep reinforced concrete intake structure with trash racks, and a pumping station on Hilly Mill Creek; (2) a 24-inch-diameter fill pipeline to the upper reservoir; (3) a geotextile lined rock filled embankment forming an enclosed upper reservoir; (4) a 66-footdeep enclosed upper reservoir with a storage capacity of 5,300 acre-feet; (5) a lower underground reservoir consisting of concentric circular tunnels reaching a depth of 2,100 feet below the surface, with the total length of the tunnels being 170,000 feet; (6) a reinforced morning glory type water intake situated within the upper reservoir with an outer diameter of 95 feet and an inside diameter of 38 feet; (7) a 23-footdiameter, 2,300-foot-long granite bedrock vertical tunnel trifurcating into three 10-foot-diameter steel lined penstocks leading to three reversible Francis pump turbines; (8) a 460-footlong, 80-foot-wide, 160-foot-high PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 powerhouse, 200 feet below the lower reservoir containing the three pump turbine units with a total installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts; (9) a separate 60-foot-wide, 410-foot-long, 160-foot-high underground transformer gallery near the powerhouse; and (10) a 1-mile-long, 500 kilovolt transmission line east of the proposed upper reservoir. The lower reservoir tunneling would be accomplished using two 42.5foot-diameter tunnel boring machines with an access ramp of the same size from the surface. The powerhouse would be excavated using traditional drill and blast methods. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of 2,628,000 megawatt-hours.

a geotextile lined rock filled embankment forming an enclosed upper

inside diameter of 38 feet; (7) a 23-foot-diameter, 2,300-foot-long 
granite bedrock vertical tunnel trifurcating into three 10-foot-
diameter steel lined penstocks leading to three reversible Francis pump 
turbines; (8) a 460-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 160-foot-high powerhouse, 
200 feet below the lower reservoir containing the three pump turbine 
units with a total installed capacity of 1,000 megawatts; (9) a 
separate 60-foot-wide, 410-foot-long, 160-foot-high underground
