Midwest Energy Recycling, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 17, 2018, Midwest Energy Recycling, 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 
Chippewa County Pumped Storage Project to be located near the Minnesota 
River and the city of Granite Falls, in Chippewa County, Minnesota. 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 
circular 100-acre rockfill embankment (upper reservoir) having a total 
storage capacity of 3,000 acre-feet with a maximum pond elevation level 
of 1080 feet mean sea level; (2) a new 2,400-foot by 1,425-foot 
rectangular lower reservoir with a total storage capacity of 3,300 
acre-feet; (3) a new 100-foot-diameter, reinforced concrete (morning 
glory type) intake connected to a vertical 2,500-foot-long by 18-foot-
diameter steel penstock; (4) a new 200-foot-long by 70-foot-wide by 40-
foot-high reinforced concrete powerhouse containing two new 333-
megawatt (MW) reversible pump turbine units with a total plant rating 
of 666 MW; (5) a new 50-foot-wide, 240-foot-long, 40-foot-high 
transformer gallery; (6); a new 200 to 1,000-foot-long, 230-kilovolt 
transmission line extending from the transformer gallery to an existing 
substation (the point of interconnection); and (7) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Chippewa County 
Pumped Storage Project would be 1,450 gigawatt-hours.
