Prineville Energy Storage LLC, Ochoco Irrigation District; Notice 
of Competing Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 1, 2016, Prineville Energy Storage LLC (Prineville) and 
Ochoco Irrigation District (Ochoco) filed preliminary permit 
applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project at the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Prineville Reservoir and Arthur Bowman 
Dam, located on the Crooked River near the City of Prineville in Crook 
County, Oregon. 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.
    Prineville's project would be a pumped storage project that uses 
the Corps' Prineville Reservoir as the lower reservoir. The project 
would consist of the following new facilities: (1) A 40-foot-high, 
7,700-foot-long concrete-faced rockfill embankment creating a 64-acre 
upper reservoir; (2) a 15-foot-diameter, 1,400-foot-long low pressure 
tunnel; (3) two 11-foot-diameter, 1,880-foot-long high pressure 
conduit; (4) a powerhouse with two 100-megawatt (MW) reversible pump 
turbines located 365 feet west of the Prineville Reservoir; (5) a 
tailrace; and (6) a 16-mile-long, 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 
interconnecting with the Ponderosa substation. The Prineville Project 
would have an average annual generation of 525,600 megawatt-hours 
(MWh).
    Applicants Contact: Mr. Matthew Shapiro, CEO, Prineville Energy 
Storage, LLC, 1210 W. Franklin Street, Ste. 2, Boise, ID 83702. (208) 
246-9925.
    Ochoco's Bowman Dam Project would be a conventional project that 
uses the Corps' existing intake structure at the Bowman Dam and 
Prineville Reservoir, and the following new facilities: (1) A 10-foot-
diameter, 310-foot-long steel pipe inserted into the Corps' existing 
intake tunnel; (2) a valve chamber; (3) a 9-foot-diameter, 108.44-foot-
long steel penstock; (4) a powerhouse with one 3-MW and one 1-MW 
Francis turbine/

[[Page 62497]]

generator units located on the bank next to the Corps' existing 
spillway; (5) a tailrace; and (6) a 15-mile-long, 24.5 kV transmission 
line interconnecting to the Central Electric Cooperative facilities. 
The Bowman Dam Project would have an average annual generation of 17.6 
MWh.
