participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the

Deer Creek Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

November 12, 2010. 

On October 14, 2010, Deer Creek 

Hydro, LLC (Deer Creek Hydro) 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 Deer Creek Pumped 

Storage Project (Project) near Glenrock, 

Converse County, Wyoming. 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 will consist of: 

(1) Two artificial reservoirs created by 

embankments and joined by 

approximately 9,715 feet of conduit; (2) 

an underground powerhouse to be 

located approximately 3,000 feet 

southeast of the lower reservoir dam, at 

an elevation of approximately 5,450 

feet; (3) two 150-megawatt (MW) and 

two 100-MW reversible pump-turbines, 

totaling 500 MW of generating capacity, 

with up to 150 MW of additional 

pumping capacity, for a total of 650 MW 

pumping capacity; (4) a double-circuit 

230-kilovolt, approximately 1.2-milelong transmission line connecting to an 

existing substation; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual energy 

production for the proposed Project is 

approximately 1,533,000 megawatthours.

Avenue Station. The primary purpose of 

the conduit is water delivery and 

distribution for consumptive domestic 

use. The hydraulic capacity of each 

turbine will be 9.5 cubic feet per second 

and the units will have an estimated 

average annual generation of 220,000 

kWh.
