DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13876–000] 

South Run Pumped Storage, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

December 13, 2010. 

On October 26, 2010, South Run 

Pumped Storage, LLC, Massachusetts, 

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 South Run 

Pumped Storage Project (South Run 

Project or project) to be located on 

South Run, near Norton, Medina and 

Summit counties, Ohio. 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: (1) An excavated, diked, and asphaltlined 255-acre upper reservoir having a 

maximum water surface area of about 

195 acres and a total volume of 7,805 

acre-feet; (2) a 7,760-acre-foot capacity 

underground lower reservoir, 2,200 feet 

below ground surface, created by 

previous limestone mining activities; (3) 

a diversion channel around the west 

and south sides of the upper reservoir 

with sufficient capacity to carry a 100- 

year flood flow of 1,170 cubic feet per 

second; (4) a 28-foot-diameter, 7,000- 

foot-long, concrete-lined power tunnel 

located 300 feet below the ground 

surface that extends from the upper 

reservoir to two 17.5-foot-diameter, 

2,400-foot-long concrete-lined vertical 

shafts connecting the power tunnel with 

the underground powerhouse 

penstocks; (5) six 6-foot-3-inch 

diameter, 235-foot-long, steel-and 

concrete-lined penstocks; (6) an 

underground powerhouse containing six 

250-megawatt (MW) reversible pumpturbines; (7) an underground 

transformer gallery; (8) a 3-mile-long, 

345-kilovolt overhead transmission line; 

and (9) appurtenant facilities. The 

estimated annual generation of the 

South Run Project would be between 

1,300 and 2,000 gigawatt-hours, 

depending on utilization factors. There 

are no Federal or state lands associated 

with the project.
