Pajuela Peak Hydro, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

August 26, 2010. 

On May 20, 2010, Pajuela Peak Hydro, 

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 Pajuela 

Peak Pumped Storage Project, located in 

Kern County, in the state of California. 

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 developments: 

(1) A proposed 235-ft concrete upper 

dam with a 1,530-ft length at crest and 

hydraulic head of 1,465 feet; (2) a 

proposed 50-ft zoned earth and rockfill 

lower dam with a 5,896-ft length at 

crest; (3) four proposed steel penstocks; 

(4) a proposed upper reservoir with a 

surface area of 80 acres and a storage 

capacity of 5,964 acre-feet and 

maximum water surface elevation of 

5,425 feet mean sea level; (5) a proposed 

lower reservoir with a surface area of 60 

acres and a storage capacity of 5,964 

acre-feet and maximum water surface 

elevation of 4,060 feet mean sea level; 

(6) a proposed unlined upper lowpressure tunnel 2,500 ft-long conduit 

with a diameter of 14.7 feet; (7) a 

proposed high pressure tunnel 3,114 ftlong conduit with a diameter of 14.7 feet 

(8) a proposed powerhouse containing 

one 150 MW and two 50 MW reversible 

pump/turbine generating units having 

an installed capacity of 250 megawatts; 

(9) a proposed 230 kV line 

interconnection with either of two SCE 

substations or a LADWP line. The 

proposed development would have an 

average annual generation of 766,500 

megawatt-hours.
