to study the feasibility of the Champion 

Ridge Pumped Storage Hydroelectric 

Project, which would be located in 

Johnson 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

owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would use 

groundwater and would consist of the 

following: (1) A new upper reservoir, 

with a surface area of 90 acres, and a 

storage capacity of 6,938 acre-feet at a 

normal maximum surface elevation of 

7,400 feet above mean sea level (msl); 

(2) two new earth embankment dams, 

210- and 20-foot-high, 4,234- and 690- 

foot-long, respectively; (3) a new lower 

reservoir, with a surface area of 180 

acres, and storage capacity of 6,552 acrefeet at a normal maximum surface 

elevation of 6,000 feet msl; (4) a new 

160-foot-high, 2,083-foot-long earth 

embankment dam; (5) a new 5,658-footlong by 23-foot-diameter steel penstock 

connecting to; (6) a new powerhouse 

containing three generating units having 

a total installed capacity of 700 

megawatts; (7) a new 230-kilovolt, 14.4- 

mile-long transmission line; and (8) 

appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

project would have an average annual 

generation of 2,026.795 gigawatt-hours.
