7Additionally, you may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment feature, 

which is located on the Commission’s website at 

www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and 

Filings. Using eComment is an easy method for 

interested persons to submit brief, text-only 

comments on a project. 

As described further in Rule 214, your 

motion to intervene must state, to the 

extent known, your position regarding 

the proceeding, as well as your interest 

in the proceeding. For an individual, 

this could include your status as a 

landowner, ratepayer, resident of an 

impacted community, or recreationist. 

You do not need to have property 

directly impacted by the project in order 

to intervene. For more information 

about motions to intervene, refer to the 

FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/ 

resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties.

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely

2022. The filing of a comment alone will 

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you 

must intervene in the proceeding.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15245–000] 

PacifiCorp; Notice of Preliminary 

Permit Application Accepted for Filing 

and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On October 13, 2021, PacifiCorp filed 

an application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Saddle Mountains 

Pumped Storage Project (Saddle 

Mountains Project or project) to be 

located near Crab Creek and the 

Columbia River in Grant County, 

Washington. 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. 

Two alternatives are being considered 

for the Saddle Mountains Project. 

Alternative 1 would consist of the 

following new facilities: (1) An upper 

reservoir located approximately 7 miles 

east of Beverly, Washington, with a 

surface area of 312 acres and a storage 

volume of approximately 4,750 acre-feet 

created by a 1,300-foot-long, 25-foothigh embankment dam; (2) a lower 

reservoir with a surface area of 115 acres 

and a storage volume of approximately 

4,000 acre-feet created by a 6,775-footlong, 75-foot-high embankment dam; (3) 

a 1.5-mile-long steel penstock with a 

diameter of 23-feet (if only one 

generating unit is used) or trifurcating 

into three separate 13.25-foot-diameter 

segments (if three generating units are 

used) connecting the upper reservoir 

with the powerhouse/pump station; (4) 

a 150-foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse/pump station located on 

the lower reservoir shoreline containing 

up to three generating/pumping units 

for a total generating capacity of 500 

megawatts (MW); (5) an approximate 

9.0-mile, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission 

line interconnecting to a new substation 

west and north of the project reservoirs 

and adjacent to the existing Vantage 

BPA substation that would interconnect 

to the regional transmission grid; (6) an 

approximately 10-mile-long 

underground pipeline diverting water 

for construction, initial fill, and annual 

maintenance fill (i.e., water would be 

sourced west and north of the project 

reservoirs from one or more of the 

following: Surface water, the Columbia 

River and/or its tributaries, 

groundwater, or storage water); and, (7) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The majority of the facilities for 

Alternative 2 (i.e., project reservoirs, 

penstock, and powerhouse, etc.) would 

be located approximately 3 miles east of 

their counterparts under Alternative 1. 

Alternative 2 would consist of the 

following new facilities: (1) An upper 

reservoir with a surface area of 100 acres 

and a storage volume of approximately 

3,300 acre-feet created by a 2,370-footlong, 190-foot-high embankment dam; 

(2) a lower reservoir with a surface area 

of 84 acres and a storage volume of 

approximately 4,000 acre-feet created by 

a 8,450-foot-long, 60-foot-high 

embankment dam; (3) a 0.6-mile-long 

steel penstock with a diameter of 23-feet 

(if only one generating unit is used) or 

trifurcating into three separate 13.25- 

foot-diameter segments (if three 

generating units are used) connecting 

the upper reservoir with the 

powerhouse/pump station; (4) a 150- 

foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse/pump station located on 

the lower reservoir shoreline containing 

up to three generating/pumping units 

for a total generating capacity of 500 

MW; (5) an approximate 12.7-mile, 230- 

kV transmission line interconnecting to 

the same substation under Alternative 1; 

(6) an approximately 10-mile-long 

underground pipeline diverting water 

for construction, initial fill, and annual 

maintenance fill (i.e., water would be 

sourced west of the project reservoirs 

and south of the source location for 

Alternative 1 from one or more of the 

following: Surface water, the Columbia 

River and/or its tributaries, 

groundwater, or storage water); and, (7) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The estimated annual generation of 

the Saddle Mountains Project would be 

1,460 gigawatt-hours.
