[Project No. 14361–000] 

Spartanburg Water System; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On February 6, 2012, 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 South 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 673-foot-long 

concrete dam, owned by Spartanburg; 

(2) a reservoir with a surface area of 

1,534.0 acres and a storage capacity of 

32,000 acre-feet; (3) an existing 4.5-footdiameter, 48-foot-long outlet pipe; (4) a 

powerhouse containing two generating 

units with a total capacity of 530.0 

kilowatts (kW), discharging directly into 

the dam’s existing tailrace; and (5) a 

1,300-foot-long, 12 kilo-volt (KV) 

transmission line. The project would 

have an estimated average annual 

generation of 2,420 megawatt-hours 

(MWh) and the project power would be 

sold.
