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).
