Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2530–057] 

Brookfield White Pine Hydro, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for license for the Hiram 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Saco River in Oxford and Cumberland 

counties, Maine, and has prepared a 

Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) 

for the project. No federal land is 

occupied by project works or located 

within the project boundary. 

The FEA contains the staff’s analysis 

of the potential environmental impacts 

of the project and concludes that 

licensing the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

The Commission provides all 

interested persons with an opportunity 

to view and/or print the FEA via the 

internet through the Commission’s 

Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using 

the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket 

number, excluding the last three digits 

in the docket number field, to access the 

document. At this time, the Commission 

has suspended access to the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

due to the proclamation declaring a 

National Emergency concerning the 

Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID–19), 

issued by the President on March 13, 

2020. For assistance, contact FERC 

Online Support at 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or tollfree at (866) 208–3676, or for TTY, (202) 

502–8659. 

You may also register online at

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15241–000] 

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 (FPA), proposing to study the 

feasibility of Long Ridge Pumped 

Storage Project to be located about 3 

miles West of Mona, Utah. 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 project would consist of 

the following: (1) A new upper reservoir 

for alternative 1 with a surface area of 

277 acres, a total storage capacity of 

3,672 acre-feet at a normal maximum 

operating elevation of 6,500 feet average 

mean sea level (msl); (2) a new upper 

reservoir for alternative 2 and 3 with a 

total storage capacity of 2,798 acre-feet 

at a normal maximum operating 

elevation of 6,830 feet msl; (3) a new 

lower reservoir for alternative 1 with a 

surface area of 90 acres at a normal 

maximum operating elevation of 5,220 

feet msl; (4) a new lower reservoir for 

alternative 2 with a surface area of 98 

acres at a normal maximum elevation of 

5,320 feet msl; (5) a new lower reservoir 

for alternative 3 with a surface area of 

98 acres at a normal maximum elevation 

of 5,115 feet msl; (6) a 14,784-foot-long 

tunnel penstock, with a hydraulic head 

of 1,280 feet, connecting the upper and 

lower reservoirs to the powerhouse for 

alternative 1; (7) a 16,368-foot-long 

tunnel penstock, with a hydraulic head 

of 1,665 feet, connecting the upper and 

lower reservoirs to the powerhouse for 

alternative 2; (8) a 17,424-foot-long 

tunnel penstock, with a hydraulic head 

of 1,665 feet, connecting the upper and 

lower reservoirs to the powerhouse for 

alternative 3; (9) a new underground 

powerhouse that would be sited along 

the western shore of the lower reservoir 

for alternative 1, 2, and 3 containing 

three turbine-generator units with a total 

rated capacity of 500 megawatts; (10) a 

new 0.8-mile-long, 230-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line connecting the 

powerhouse to PacifiCorp’s existing 

Mona substation for alternative 1; (11) a 

new 1.2-mile-long, 345-kV transmission 

line connecting the powerhouse to 

PacifiCorp’s existing Clover substation 

for alternatives 2 and 3; and (12) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual power generation at the Long 

Ridge Pumped Storage would be 1,460 

gigawatt-hours.
