Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15253–000] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing 

Applications; Great Divide Energy Park 

LLC 

On December 10, 2021, Great Divide 

Energy Park LLC filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA), to study the feasibility of the 

Great Divide Closed Loop Pumped 

Storage Hydro Project to be located near 

Jeffery City, in Fremont County, 

Wyoming. The proposed project would 

be located in part on federal lands 

administered by the U.S. Bureau of 

Land Management. 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 pumped storage project 

would consist of the following new 

facilities: (1) A 5,062-foot-long earthen 

and/or roller compacted concrete 

embankment, creating a reservoir with a 

normal maximum water surface area of 

8,900 feet and a storage capacity of 

6,000 acre-feet; (2) a 4,093-foot-long, 18- 

foot diameter steel penstock that would 

convey water from the upper reservoir 

to the turbine/pump units in the 

powerhouse and to the lower reservoir; 

(3) a 760-foot-long, 200-foot-wide 

powerhouse located adjacent to the 

lower reservoir containing three 133– 

MW quaternary turbine/pump unit pairs 

for a combined capacity of 

approximately 399 megawatts; (4) a 

5,371-foot-long earthen and/or roller 

compacted concrete embankment, 

creating a lower reservoir with a normal 

maximum water surface area of 7,850 

feet and a storage capacity of 6,000 acrefeet; (5) gravel access roads to provide 

access to the upper or lower reservoirs 

from existing roads; (6) a 2.37 mile-long, 

230 kilovolts (kV) transmission line; and 

(7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Great Divide 

Closed Loop Pumped Storage Hydro 

Project would be approximately 1,861 

gigawatt-hours, (GWhs).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–24–000] 

Equitrans L.P.; Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Truittsburg Well Conversion Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Truittsburg Well Conversion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Equitrans L.P. (Equitrans) in 

Clarion County, Pennsylvania. The 

Commission will use this environmental 

document in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please submit your 

comments so that the Commission 

receives them in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

February 4, 2022. Comments may be 

submitted in written form. Further 

details on how to submit comments are 

provided in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

Your comments should focus on the 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to 

evaluate in the environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on December 13, 

2022, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP22–24–000 

to ensure they are considered as part of 

this proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with state law. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

Equitrans provided landowners with a 

fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled 

‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On 

My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ 

which addresses typically asked 

questions, including the use of eminent 

domain and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. This fact 

sheet along with other landowner topics 

of interest are available for viewing on 

the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) under 

the Natural Gas Questions or 

Landowner Topics link. 

Public Participation 

There are three methods you can use 

to submit your comments to the 

Commission. Please carefully follow 

these instructions so that your 

comments are properly recorded. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov.
