Commission 

[Project No. 14851–000] 

White Pine Waterpower, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On July 13, 2017, White Pine 

Waterpower, 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 White Pine Pumped Storage 

Project to be located near the town of 

Ely in White Pine, Nevada. 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 applicant proposes to study two 

alternative closed-loop pumped storage 

alternatives at the site: One sized to 250 

megawatts (MW) and the other to 500 

MW. The 500-MW alternative would 

consist of the following: (1) A new 

upper reservoir with a surface area of 52 

acres and a storage capacity of 2,400 

acre-feet at a surface elevation of 

approximately 8,530 feet above mean 

sea level (msl) created through 

construction of a new earth or rockfilled dam; (2) a new lower reservoir 

with a surface area of 40 acres and a 

total storage capacity of 2,400 acre-feet 

at a surface elevation of 6,290 feet msl; 

(3) 10,600 feet of tunnel and penstock 

connecting the upper and lower 

reservoirs; (5) a new underground 

powerhouse containing three turbinegenerator units; (6) a new 1.5 mile 

transmission line connecting the 

powerhouse to a nearby electric grid 

interconnection, (7) appurtenant 

facilities. The 500-MW alternative 

would have an annual generation of 

502,717 megawatt-hours (MWh). 

For the 250-MW alternative, the new 

upper and lower reservoirs would be 

sized to have half of the storage of the 

500-MW alternative (1,200 acre-feet), 

reducing the dam size needed to 

impound the reservoirs. The alternative 

would require 11,700 feet of tunnel and 

penstock and have 2 pump-generating 

units. The 250-MW alternative would 

require the same transmission line and 

would have an estimated annual 

generation of 547,500 MWh.

[FRL–9965–41–Region 10] 

Public Notice of State of Idaho National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination 

System (NPDES) Program Submission 

for EPA Approval 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comment; notice of public hearing. 

SUMMARY: The United States 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is requesting comments on and will 

hold public hearings for the State of 

Idaho’s National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) program 

application (to be referred to as the 

‘‘IPDES program application’’ or the 

‘‘application’’). The Governor of the 

State of Idaho submitted the application 

to the EPA Region 10 Administrator 

pursuant to section 402 of the Clean 

Water Act (CWA or ‘the Act’). With this 

submission, the Idaho Department of 

Environmental Quality (IDEQ) seeks 

approval to administer the Idaho 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(IPDES) program regulating discharges 

of pollutants into waters of the United 

States under its jurisdiction. The State’s 

request includes an implementation 

plan to transfer from the EPA to IDEQ 

the administration of specific program 

components in four phases over a fouryear period beginning July 1, 2018, or 

upon program approval, whichever is 

later. If the EPA approves the IPDES 

program, IDEQ will administer this 

program, subject to continuing EPA 

oversight and enforcement authority, in 

place of the NPDES program now 

administered by the EPA. The EPA will 

retain permitting authority over all 

facilities that are located within a tribal 

reservation and/or facilities that 

discharge to tribal waters. Today, the 

EPA is requesting comments on the 

State’s application and providing notice 

of public hearings that will be held at 

locations throughout the state. At the 

close of the public comment period, the 

EPA will review all the public 

comments received and will either 

approve or disapprove the State’s 

request for program approval. If 

approved, the NPDES program authority 

will begin to transfer from the EPA to 

IDEQ on or after July 1, 2018, with the 

final program phase being transferred to 

IDEQ on or after July 1, 2021. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 10, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Location of Informational 

Meetings and Public Hearings: EPA 

Region 10 will hold five information 

meetings, with each followed by a 

public hearing on the following dates 

and times. Please check the Web site at 

https://www.epa.gov/npdes-permits/ 

idaho-npdes-program-authorization 

prior to the scheduled dates for any 

updates to this information.
