On December 14, 2022, JT Mesa 

Hydro, LLC, filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

to be located near the City of Raton in 

Colfax County, New Mexico. 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 

one of two alternative configurations, 

the Throttle Alternative and the ClosedLoop Alternative. 

The Throttle Alternative would 

consist of the following facilities: (1) a 

new 109-acre upper reservoir with a 

storage capacity of 4,000 acre-feet at a 

water surface elevation of 7,830 feet 

above mean sea level (msl); (2) the 

existing 110-acre Throttle Reservoir 

with a storage capacity of 4,000 acre-feet 

at a water surface elevation of 6,783 feet 

msl; (3) a 500-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 

40-foot-high concrete/metal powerhouse 

with three 110-foot-long, 75-footdiameter vertical shafts, each of which 

would house a 150-megawatt (MW) 

reversible pump-turbine and motorgenerator, for a total generating capacity 

of 450 MW; (4) three alternative points 

of interconnection, each with its own 

transmission route: (a) a new 7-milelong, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 

connecting to the existing WalsenburgGladstone 230-kV transmission line; (b) 

a new 41-mile-long, 345-kV 

transmission line connecting to a 

substation that is planned in association 

with a proposed wind project and the 

Mora Line being developed by Ameren; 

or (c) a new 39-mile-long, 345-kV 

transmission line connecting to the 

Mora Substation north of Springer, 

which is part of the Mora Line project 

being developed by Ameren; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The Closed-Loop Alternative would 

consist of the following facilities: (1) a 

new 100-acre upper reservoir with a 

storage capacity of 3,500 acre-feet at a 

water surface elevation of 7,830 feet 

msl; (2) a new 52-acre lower reservoir 

with a storage capacity of 3,500 acre-feet 

at a water surface elevation of 6,700 feet 

msl; (3) a 450-foot-long, 75-foot-wide, 

40-foot-high concrete/metal powerhouse 

with three 100-foot-long, 70-footdiameter vertical shafts, each of which 

would house a 150- MW reversible 

pump-turbine and motor-generator, for a 

total generating capacity of 450 MW; (4) 

three alternative points of 

interconnection, each with its own 

transmission route: (a) a new 10-milelong, 230-kV transmission line 

connecting to the existing WalsenburgGladstone 230-kV transmission line; (b) 

a new 44-mile-long, 345-kV 

transmission line connecting to a 

substation that is planned in association 

with a proposed wind project and the 

Mora Line being developed by Ameren; 

or (c) a new 37-mile-long, 345-kV 

transmission line connecting to the 

Mora Substation north of Springer, 

which is part of the Mora Line project 

being developed by Ameren; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities.
