On July 12, 2023, Jupiter 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 Mineral Run Pumped Storage
Project (Mineral Run Project or project)
to be located in Cambria County,
Pennsylvania. 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 Mineral Run Project
would consist of the following: (1) a
new 9,400-foot-long, 85-foot-high rockfilled embankment dike forming an
upper reservoir having a surface area of
120 acres and a total storage capacity of
approximately 9,840 acre-feet at a
normal maximum water surface
elevation of 2,282 feet above mean sea
level (msl); (2) a new 15,200-foot-long,
85-foot-high rock-filled embankment
dike forming a lower reservoir having a
total storage capacity of approximately
9,840 acre-feet at a normal maximum
water surface elevation of 2,062 feet
msl; (3) a 32-foot-diameter, 100-footlong vertical tunnel and a 32-footdiameter, 4,500-foot-long horizontal
tunnel and/or penstock connecting the
upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a 120foot-wide, 600-foot-long powerhouse
containing six reversible turbinegenerator units with a total rated
capacity of 208 megawatts; (5) a new
pump station along the eastern bank of
Saltlick Run to convey water through a
1,300-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter steel
conduit to the lower reservoir; (6) a 1.7mile-long, 230-kilovolt transmission
line connecting the project to an
existing substation; and (7) appurtenant
facilities. Initial fill and make-up water
for the project would come from Saltlick
Run. The proposed project would have
an annual generation of 607,000
megawatt-hours.
