On March 29, 2010, and revised May 

5, 2010, the South Dakota Energy, L.L.C. 

filed an application for a preliminary 

permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 

Federal Power Act, proposing to study 

the feasibility of the South Dakota 

Energy Hydroelectric Project located on 

the Missouri River in Gregory County, 

South Dakota. The proposed project’s 

existing lower reservoir is owned and 

operated by the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps). 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 boundary is partially located on 

Federal lands managed by the Corps. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) A new 60-foot-high, 

15,700-foot long earth embankment 

dam, impounding a 450-acre upper 

reservoir, with 25,250 acre-feet of 

storage capacity at a normal elevation of 

2,090 mean sea level; (2) a 30-footdiameter, 700-foot-long vertical shaft 

concrete or steel power tunnel; (3) a 30- 

foot-diameter, 7,100-foot-long concrete 

or steel conduit; (4) an underground 

powerhouse containing four 300- 

megawatt reversible pump-turbine/ 

generator units, discharging into Lake 

Francis Case through a 40-foot-diameter, 

2,200-foot-long discharge tunnel; (5) the 

existing Lake Francis Case lower 

reservoir; (6) a new 20-mile-long, 345- 

kilovolt transmission line to 

interconnect with an existing 

transmission line at the Fort Randall 

generation facility; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities.
