Commission
[Project No. 15315–000]
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 2, 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
Powell to fill and periodically refill the
project reservoirs. The lower reservoir
would be located approximately 4,200
feet west from the proposed upper
reservoir. A zoned rockfill embankment
dike approximately 75 feet high and
6,200 feet long is proposed to be
constructed to enclose the perimeter of
the 55-acre lower reservoir with a water
surface elevation of 5,475 feet mean sea
level (msl). The upper reservoir would
be located approximately 4,200 feet east
from the proposed lower reservoir. A
zoned rockfill embankment dike
approximately 75 feet high and 6,500
feet long is proposed to be constructed
to enclose the perimeter of the 55-acre
upper reservoir with a water surface
elevation of 6,475 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 four
reversible Francis pump-turbine units
into four 12-foot-diameter steel pipes
that would merge into a 24 footdiameter penstock, which would convey
water to the upper reservoir. During
generation, operations would be
reversed. The total installed generation
PO 00000
Frm 00076

capacity would be 396 megawatts with
a hydraulic head of 1,000 feet.
The proposed project would also
include a new 30-mile-long, 230kilovolt overhead transmission line that
would extend from a proposed
substation near the proposed
powerhouse to an interconnection point
with the substation located adjacent to
Glen Canyon Dam approximately 2
miles northwest of Page, Arizona. The
transmission route would follow an
approximately 150-foot-wide corridor
west until the proposed route meets an
existing 200-foot-wide transmission
corridor. The proposed substation
would include two 200 MVA Generator
Step-up Units, relays and controls,
breakers, and switches as required by
the existing substation owner/electric
service provider.
