DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
The license for the Mine Falls

issued for a period ending July 31, 2023.
Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C.
808(a)(1), requires the Commission, at
the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to
the then licensee(s) under the terms and
conditions of the prior license until a
new license is issued, or the project is
otherwise disposed of as provided in
section 15 or any other applicable
section of the FPA. If the project’s prior
license waived the applicability of
section 15 of the FPA, then, based on
section 9(b) of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), and as
set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the
licensee of such project has filed an

minor or minor part license expires,
until the Commission acts on its
application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise

[Project No. 15314–000]
County of Coconino, AZ; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On June 12, 2023, Western Navajo
Pumped Storage 1, 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 to be located near the
City of Page in Coconino County,
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 project is proposed as a closed
loop pumped storage hydroelectricgenerating facility, which would involve
the construction of new water storage,
water conveyance, and generation
facilities at off-channel locations where
no such facilities exist at this time. The
project would utilize water from Lake
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Powell to fill and periodically refill the
project reservoirs. The lower reservoir
would be located approximately 5,280
feet west from the proposed upper
reservoir. A zoned rockfill embankment
dike approximately 75 feet high and
8,200 feet long is proposed to be
constructed to enclose the perimeter of
the 110-acre lower reservoir with a
water surface elevation of 4,125 feet
mean sea level (msl). The upper
reservoir would be located
approximately 5,280 feet east from the
proposed lower reservoir. A zoned
rockfill embankment dike
approximately 75 feet high and 8,000
feet long is proposed to be constructed
to enclose the perimeter of the 110-acre
upper reservoir with a water surface
elevation of 4,625 feet msl. Both
embankment ring dikes would have an
impermeable clay core and an
impermeable concrete liner.
During pumping operations, water
would be drawn through the eight
reversible Francis pump-turbine units
into eight 12-foot-diameter steel pipes
that would merge into a 34 footdiameter penstock, which would convey
water to the upper reservoir. During
generation, operations would be
reversed. The total installed generation
capacity would be 396 megawatts with
a hydraulic head of 500 feet.
The proposed project would also
include a new 3-mile-long, 230-kilovolt
overhead transmission line that would
extend from a proposed substation near
the proposed powerhouse to an
interconnection point with the
substation located at the former Navajo
Generating Station. The 3-mile-long
transmission route would follow an
approximately 150-foot-wide corridor
southwest towards the former coal plant
substation. The proposed substation
would include two 200-megavoltampere Generator Step-up Units, relays
and controls, breakers, and switches as
required by the existing substation
owner/electric service provider.
