[Project No. 14329–000] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing 

Applications; Grand Coulee Project 

Hydroelectric Authority 

On December 1, 2011, the Grand 

Coulee Project Hydroelectric 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 Banks Lake 

Pumped Storage Project (Banks Lake 

Project or project) to be located on 

Banks Lake and Franklin D. Roosevelt 

Lake (Roosevelt Lake), near the town of 

Grand Coulee, Douglas and Grant 

Counties, Washington. The project 

would be located on federal lands 

administered by the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation (Reclamation) and the U.S. 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM). 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 22, 2012 / Notices 10503 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project has two 

alternatives: 

Alternative 1 

The proposed project would use 

Reclamation’s existing Banks Lake as 

the upper reservoir and Roosevelt Lake 

as the lower reservoir. The proposed 

project would consist of the following 

new facilities: (1) An upper reservoir 

inlet/outlet structure equipped with 

trash racks; (2) a 1.5-mile-long penstock 

consisting of a vertical shaft, power 

tunnel segments, and a tailrace section, 

extending between the upper reservoir 

inlet/outlet and the reversible turbine/ 

generator units in the powerhouse; (3) 

an underground powerhouse containing 

four reversible turbine/generator units 

rated for 250 megawatts (MW) each, for 

a total installed generation of 1,000 MW, 

or a powerhouse located on the shore of 

Roosevelt Lake, also containing four 

250–MW reversible turbine/generator 

units; (4) a 2-mile-long, 500-kilovolt 

(kV) transmission line extending from 

the project powerhouse to an existing 

500-kV substation; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The estimated annual 

generation of Alternative 1 for the Banks 

Lake Project would be 2,263 gigawatthours (GWh). 

Alternative 2 

The proposed project would use 

Reclamation’s existing Banks Lake as 

the lower reservoir. The proposed 

project would consist of the following 

new facilities: (1) A new 312-acre upper 

reservoir constructed approximately 

3,000 feet west of the existing Banks 

Lake, impounded by three earth and 

rockfill embankments, each with a crest 

elevation of 2,300 feet above mean sea 

level; (2) an upper reservoir inlet/outlet 

structure equipped with trash racks; (2) 

a 620-foot-long, 43-foot-diameter 

vertical shaft connecting the upper 

reservoir inlet/outlet structure to the 

power tunnels; (3) four 1,700-foot-long, 

17-foot-diameter power tunnels leading 

from the vertical shaft to the 

powerhouse; (4) an underground 

powerhouse containing four reversible 

turbine/generator units rated for 260 

MW each, for a total installed generation 

of 1,040 MW; (5) a 25-foot-diameter 

tailrace tunnel between the powerhouse 

and the existing Banks Lake; (6) a 2.4- 

mile-long, 500-kV transmission line 

extending from the project powerhouse 

to a new 500-kV substation; and (7) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of Alternative 2 for 

the Banks Lake Project would be 2,978 

GWh.

The proposed project would consist of 

the following facilities: (1) An open 

conduit that would deliver water from 

the Pit 1 diversion to a penstock; (2) an 

existing penstock connecting the 

conduit to the powerhouse; (3) two 

pump-turbines totaling 900 kilowatts 

(kW) (1 × 300 kW unit and 1 × 600 kW 

unit) of generating capacity; and (4) an 

existing 3-phase power line on site. The 

project’s annual energy output would 

range from 4 to 6 gigawatt hours.
