DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 14876–000] 

Western Minnesota Municipal Power 

Authority; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On April 19, 2018, Western 

Minnesota Municipal Power Authority 

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 Gregory 

County Pumped Storage Project to be 

located on Lake Francis Case on the 

Missouri River, near the township of 

Lucas, in Gregory, Charles Mix, and 

Brule Counties, South Dakota. 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 1,200-acre 

earthen embankment levee (upper 

reservoir) having a total storage capacity 

of 50,000 acre-feet with an operating 

elevation level of between 2,045 feet 

mean sea level (msl) and 2,087 feet msl; 

(2) a new 550-foot-long by 120-foot-wide 

by 100-foot-high reinforced concrete 

powerhouse containing eight new 150- 

megawatt (MW) turbine units for a total 

plant rating of 1,200 MW; (3) thirty new 

15-foot-wide by 20-foot-deep reinforced 

concrete trashracks with an open bar 

spacing of 3.75 inches; (4) two new 

6,000-foot-long, 32-foot-diameter 

reinforced concrete penstocks; (5) two 

new 120-foot-high, 40-foot-diameter 

reinforced concrete surge tanks 

connected to each penstock; (6) the 

existing 102,000-acre Lake Francis Case 

(lower reservoir) with a storage capacity 

of 5,494,000 acre-feet at normal 

maximum operation elevation of 1,355 

feet msl; (7) a new 6,000-foot-long, 

horse-shoe configured tailrace tunnel 

that daylights to a 350-foot-long tailrace 

channel (upstream of the trashrack) 

from the powerhouse to Lake Francis 

Case; (8) a new 200-foot by 360-foot 

substation on top of the powerhouse 

containing four step-up transformers; (9) 

a new 21-mile-long, 345-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line extending from the 

project substation to the existing Lake 

Platte substation (the point of 

interconnection); and (10) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the Gregory County 

Pumped Storage Project would be 3,500 

gigawatt-hours.
