Commission 

[P–13295–000] 

BPUS Generation Development LLC; 

Notice of Application for Preliminary 

Permit Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Protests 

January 9, 2009. 

On October 2, 2008, BPUS Generation 

Development LLC filed an application, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA), to study the proposed 

Duffey Lakes Pumped Storage Project. 

The proposed project would be located 

in Snohomish and King Counties, 

Washington. The project facilities 

would be partially located on federal 

lands administered by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture Forest 

Service. The Commission issued a 

public notice of the application on 

November 13, 2008; however, due to an 

inadvertent error, the notice did not run 

in the local newspapers. The Federal 

Power Act legally requires the 

Commission to issue a public notice in 

a local newspaper once a week for four 

weeks. Therefore, we are reissuing the 

public notice in order to allow the 

notice to run in a local newspaper in 

Washington. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) An expanded Duffey Lakes as the 

upper reservoir; (2) an expanded Lake 

Cavanaugh as the lower reservoir; (3) a 

new powerhouse containing four pump/ 

turbine-generator units with a combined 

capacity of 1,150 megawatts (MW); (4) a 

new intake structure, headrace tunnel, 

and two tailraces; (5) a new 5.0-milelong, 500-kilovolt transmission line, and 

(6) appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

project would have an average annual 

generation of 3,293 gigawatt-hours 

(GWh).

i. FERC Contact: Any questions on 

this notice should be addressed to B. 

Peter Yarrington at (202) 502–6129. 

j. Deadline for filing comments and or 

motions: January 26, 2009. 

k. Description of Application: Because 

of ongoing drought conditions, the 

applicant seeks approval to temporarily 

amend article 407 of its project license 

to revise the schedule for management 

of lake levels (rule curve). Under the 

rule curve, the reservoir level is raised 

to an elevation of 439 feet mean sea 

level (msl) by April 15 each year. 

Beginning on September 1, the reservoir 

level is then reduced until it reaches 

437 feet msl by October 1. The level is 

then maintained at 437 feet msl until 

January 1, when it is reduced to 434.5 

feet msl by February 1. At that time, the 

reservoir level is increased and the 

annual cycle is repeated. The licensee 

proposes to forgo the reservoir level 

reduction from 437 feet msl to 434.5 feet 

msl that would normally occur from 

January 1 to February 1, 2009, and 

would then refill the reservoir to the 

summer elevation of 439 feet msl by 

March 15, 2009, rather than waiting 

until April 15.

copy of the application is available for 

inspection and reproduction at the
