[Project No. 14338–000] 

Spartanburg Water System; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On December 20, 2011, Spartanburg 

Water System (Spartanburg) filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the 

feasibility of a hydropower project 

located on the Pacolet River in 

Spartanburg County, South Carolina. 

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 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) An existing 70.0-foot-high, 700- 

foot-long roller-compacted concrete 

dam, owned by Spartanburg; (2) a 

reservoir with a surface area of 1,050.0 

acres and a storage capacity of 23,000 

acre-feet; (3) a 8.0-foot-diameter steel 

penstock installed in the existing outlet 

conduit; (4) an 8-foot-diameter butterfly 

valve located at the powerhouse; (5) a 

powerhouse containing one generating 

unit with a total capacity of 1,600.0 

kilowatts (kW), discharging directly into 

the dam’s existing tailrace; (6) a 1,100- 

foot-long, 4.16 kilo-volt (KV) 

transmission line to; (7) a proposed 

substation; and (8) a 100-foot-long, 12 

KV transmission line to the point of 

interconnection. The project would 

have an estimated average annual 

generation of 7,000 megawatt-hours 

(MWh) and the project power would be 

sold.
