[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 196 (Tuesday, October 11, 2016)] [Notices] [Page 70105] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-24474] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 14796-000 GreenGenStorage LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications On July 19, 2016, GreenGenStorage 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 Mokelumne Pumped Storage Project, to be located on the North Fork Mokelumne River, Bear River, and Cole Creek, in Amador and Calaveras County, California. 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 concept envisions the construction of a pumped storage generating facility consisting of: (1) The existing Salt Springs Reservoir (part of PG&E's currently licensed Mokelumne River Project No. 137) as the lower pool; (2) an upper reservoir using either the existing Upper Bear or Lower Bear River reservoirs (also part of PG&E's Mokelumne River Project); (3) a 16,000-foot to 20,000-foot power tunnel connecting the upper reservoir, pump turbines, and the lower reservoir; (4) an underground powerhouse containing the pump-turbines and motor- generators; (5) an approximately 3,000-foot-long transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. GreenGenStorage states that based on preliminary analyses, the project would have from one to three 380- megawatt generating units and an average annual electricity production of between 523 and 742 gigawatt-hours. GreenGenStorage plans to conduct studies to help further refine the range of suitable generation capabilities and other project characteristics.
