notice of schedule, issued on January 3, 

2018, identified September 17, 2018 as 

the final EIS issuance date. Staff has 

revised the schedule for issuance of the 

final EIS based on the current status of 

Transco’s General Conformity review 

and feasible mitigation options. The 

forecasted schedule for the final EIS is 

also based upon Transco providing 

complete and timely responses to any 

future data requests. In addition, the 

schedule assumes that the cooperating 

agencies will provide input on their 

areas of responsibility on a timely basis.

[Project No. 14884–000] 

Midwest Energy Recycling, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On July 17, 2018, Midwest Energy 

Recycling, LLC 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 Yellow Medicine County Pumped 

Storage Project to be located near the 

Minnesota River and the City of Granite 

Falls, in Yellow Medicine County, 

Minnesota. 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 all new facilities: (1) A 

circular 100-acre rockfill embankment 

(upper reservoir) having a total storage 

capacity of 3,300 acre-feet with a 

maximum pond elevation level of 1089 

feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 2,400- 

foot by 1,425-foot rectangular lower 

reservoir with a total storage capacity of 

3,300 acre-feet and water surface 

elevation between minus (¥) 1,320 and 

minus 1,420 feet msl; (3) a 100-foot 

outside diameter, 18-foot inside 

diameter ‘‘morning glory’’ in 

configuration reinforced concrete intake 

located in the upper reservoir; (4) a 

vertical 2,500-foot-long, 18-footdiameter steel penstock connected to 

the intake at the upper reservoir and 

ending in a bifurcation before the 

powerhouse located at the lower 

reservoir; (5) a 200-foot-long, 70-footwide, 130-foot-high reinforced concrete 

powerhouse containing two 333- 

megawatt (MW) reversible pump turbine 

units with a total plant rating of 666 

MW; (6) a 240-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 

40-foot-high transformer gallery; (7); a 

200 to 1,000-foot-long, 345-kilovolt 

transmission line extending from the 

transformer gallery to an existing 

substation (the point of 

interconnection); and (8) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of the Yellow Medicine 

County Pumped Storage Project would 

be 1,450 gigawatt-hours.
