[Project No. 13705–000] 

White Pine Waterpower, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted For Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

May 10, 2010. 

On April 6, 2010, White Pine 

Waterpower, LLC filed an application 

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

White Pine Pumped Storage Project 

located in White Pine County, Nevada, 

near the town of Ely. 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: (1) A 

210-foot-high upper, rockfill dam; (2) an 

upper artificial, lined reservoir with a 

surface area of about 74 acres and 

volume of approximately 4,938 acre-feet 

at normal water surface elevation; (3) a 

lower artificial, lined reservoir with a 

surface area of about 72 acres and 

volume of approximately 5,011 acre-feet 

at normal water surface elevation; (4) 

10,950 feet of conduit; (5) a proposed 

powerhouse 63 feet wide by 253 feet 

long by 120 feet high to be located 

underground approximately 3,620 feet 

west of the upper reservoir intake at an 

elevation of approximately 6,320 feet; 

(6) one 150-megawatt (MW), one 100– 

MW, and one 50–MW reversible pumpturbines totaling 300 MW in capacity 

with up to 100 MW of additional 

pumping capacity; (7) an access tunnel 

approximately 3,380 feet long and 24 

feet in diameter leading from the ground 

level to the powerhouse; (8) a proposed 

2.4-mile-long, 230 kilovolt transmission 

line to interconnect to a substation 

operated by Sierra Pacific Power; and 

(9) appurtenant facilities. 

The development would have an 

annual generation of 919,800 megawatthours.
