Peak Hour Power, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On May 17, 2018, Peak Hour Power, 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 Silver Creek Pumped 
Storage Project to be located on Silver Creek Reservoir in Schuylkill 
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 project would consist of the following: (1) A new 
8,000-foot-long, 125- to 175-foot-high roller-compacted concrete or 
rock-filled semi-circular dam and/or dike forming an upper reservoir 
having a surface area of 150 acres and a total storage capacity between 
approximately 8,000 and 10,000 acre-feet at a normal maximum water 
surface elevation between approximately 1,650 and 1,750 feet above mean 
sea level (msl); (2) a lower reservoir encompassing the existing Silver 
Creek Reservoir and neighboring abandoned mines land and having a 
surface area of 100 acres and a total storage capacity of 10,000 acre-
feet at a normal maximum water surface elevation between 1,200 and 
1,300 feet msl; (3) a 3,000-foot-long tunnel connecting the upper and 
lower reservoirs; (4) a powerhouse containing two turbine units with a 
total rated capacity of 250 megawatts; (5) a 2-mile-long transmission 
line connecting to an existing 230-kilovolt (kV) line or a 4000-foot-
long transmission line connecting to an existing 69-kV line; and (6) 
appurtenant facilities. Possible initial fill water would come from 
local inflow, including groundwater. The proposed project would have an 
annual generation of 784,750 megawatt-hours.
