express permission.
The proposed project would consist of
the following: (1) a 9,800-foot-long, 225foot-high dam, a 700-foot-long, 95-foothigh dike, and a 1,300-foot-long, 35foot-high dike, creating an upper
reservoir with a 580-acre surface area
and a 26,000-acre-foot storage capacity
at a normal pool elevation of 680 feet
North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD88); (2) a 150-foot-long, 50-footwide concrete-lined emergency spillway
at the east end of the upper reservoir; (3)
utilization of Lake Clarke as a lower
reservoir with a 7,360-acre surface area
and a 144,000-acre-foot storage capacity
at a normal pool elevation of 227.2 feet

and tunnel trifurcating into three 20foot-diameter steel-lined tunnels; (5) a
1,000-foot-long, 250-foot-wide, 50-foothigh underground powerhouse
containing three 286-megawatt (MW)
reversible pumping-generating units
with a total installed capacity of 858
MW; (6) a 1,500-foot-long powerhouse
access tunnel, an 18-foot-diameter vent,

a 250-foot-long, 250-foot-wide aboveground switchyard; (10) a 3-mile-long,
500-kilovolt transmission line from a
proposed switchyard to the Safe Harbor

[Docket No. CP23–542–000]
Golden Triangle Storage, L.L.C.; Notice
of Availability of the Environmental
Assessment for the Proposed Golden
Triangle Storage Expansion Project
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Golden Triangle Storage Expansion
Project (Project), proposed by Golden
Triangle Storage, L.L.C. (Golden
Triangle) in the above-referenced
docket. Golden Triangle requests
authorization to conduct the following
construction activities in Jefferson
County, Texas.
• developing and operating two new
salt dome natural gas storage caverns
and appurtenant facilities;
• constructing and operating a brine
disposal well and brine disposal
pipeline;
• constructing and operating six new
5,500 horsepower compressor units and
appurtenant facilities; and
• constructing and operating two new
service corridors and three new
permanent access roads.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that
approval of the proposed Project, with
appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
