Iron Mask Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

August 27, 2010. 

On May 6, 2010, Iron Mask Hydro, 

LLC filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Iron Mask Pumped Storage Project to be 

located near the U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation’s Canyon Ferry Lake in the 

vicinity of Townsend, Montana, in 

Broadwater County, Montana. 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 will consist of 

the following: (1) A 225-foot-high, 

1,795-foot-long upper dam made of 

either zoned earth and rockfill or 

concrete-face earth and rockfill; (2) a 50- 

foot-high, 950-foot-long earth-filled 

upper saddle dike A; (3) a 20-foot-high, 

400-foot-long earth-filled upper saddle 

dike B; (4) a 40-foot-high, 6,559-footlong lower embankment made of zoned 

earth or rockfill; (5) an upper reservoir 

with a storage capacity of 4,888 acrefeet; (6) a lower reservoir with a storage 

capacity of 4,888 acre-feet; (7) a 1,626- 

foot-long, 12.9-foot-diameter unlined 

upper low-pressure tunnel; (8) a 4,809- 

foot-long, 12.9-foot-diameter unlined, 

concrete-lined, and steel-lined pressure 

shaft; (9) a 200-foot-long, 12.9-footdiameter concrete-lined and steel-lined 

high pressure tunnel; (10) four 6.5-footdiameter steel-lined penstocks (length to 

be determined) ; (11) a 5,073-foot-long, 

15.5-foot-diameter concrete-lined or 

unlined tailrace; (12) a 260-foot-long, 

65-foot-wide, 120-foot-high 

underground powerhouse located at a 

depth of 1,000 feet; (13) one 150- 

megawatt (MW), one 100–MW, and one 

50–MW reversible pump-turbines 

totaling 300 MW of generating capacity, 

with up to 100 MW of additional 

pumping capacity, for a total of 400 MW 

pumping capacity; (14) an 

approximately 3,000-foot-long, 24-foothigh main access tunnel leading from 

the ground level to the powerhouse; and 

(15) a new single-circuit 230-kilovolt, 

4.9-mile-long transmission line with a 

150-foot right of way. 

Annual energy production is 

estimated to be 919,800 megawatt hours.
