1Colonial Pipeline Company, 160 FERC ¶ 61,051 

(2017). 

Energy Center Project to be located 

approximately 1.0 mile southwest of the 

Town of Bluefield in Tazewell County, 

Virginia. 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 

one of the following two alternatives: 

Alternative 1—(1) a new 3,263-footlong, 380-foot-high concrete-face rockfill 

dam for the upper reservoir with a 150- 

foot-long concrete-lined emergency 

spillway; (2) a new 1,723-foot-long, 288- 

foot-high concrete-face rockfill dam for 

the lower reservoir with a 150-foot-long 

concrete-lined emergency spillway; (3) a 

new upper reservoir with a surface area 

of 112 acres and a storage capacity of 

8,173 acre-feet at a surface elevation of 

3,830 feet above mean sea level (msl); 

(4) a new lower reservoir with a surface 

area of 96 acres and a storage capacity 

of 8,173 acre-feet at a surface elevation 

of 3,238 feet msl; (5) a new 9.5-milelong water source conveyance from the 

proposed water source to the project; (6) 

a new 5,235-foot-long penstock 

connecting the upper and lower 

reservoirs; (7) a new 250-foot-long, 100- 

foot-wide, 150-foot-high underground 

reinforced-concrete powerhouse 

containing two pump-turbine generator 

units with a total rated capacity of 446 

megawatts (MW) and a rated gross 

hydraulic head of 621 feet; (8) a new 

switchyard/substation that ties directly 

into an existing 765-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line; and (9) appurtenant 

facilities. 

Alternative 2—(1) a new 3,263-footlong, 380-foot-high concrete-face rockfill 

dam for the upper reservoir with a 150- 

foot-long concrete-lined emergency 

spillway; (2) a new 1,680-foot-long, 257- 

foot-high concrete-face rockfill dam for 

the lower reservoir with a 150-foot-long 

concrete-lined emergency spillway; (3) a 

new upper reservoir with a surface area 

of 112 acres and a storage capacity of 

11,135 acre-feet at a surface elevation of 

3,830 feet msl; (4) a new lower reservoir 

with a surface area of 144 acres and a 

storage capacity of 11,135 acre-feet at a 

surface elevation of 2,937 feet msl; (5) 

a new 10.5-mile-long water source 

conveyance from the proposed water 

source to the project; (6) a new 4,965- 

foot-long penstock connecting the upper 

and lower reservoirs; (7) a new 350-footlong, 100-foot-wide, 150-foot-high 

underground reinforced-concrete 

powerhouse containing three pumpturbine generator units with a total rated 

capacity of 870 MW and a rated gross 

hydraulic head of 887 feet; (8) a new 

switchyard/substation that ties directly 

into an existing 765-kV transmission 

line; and (9) appurtenant facilities. 

Under both alternatives, mine water 

would serve as the water source for the 

initial fill and makeup water. 

The proposed project would have an 

annual generation of 1,302 gigawatthours (GWh) and 2,540 GWh for 

alternatives 1 and 2, respectively.

Western Area Power Administration 

Final 2018 Olmsted Power Marketing 

Plan and Call for Applications 

AGENCY: Western Area Power 

Administration, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Final 2018 Olmsted 

Power Marketing Plan and Call for 

Applications. 

SUMMARY: Western Area Power 

Administration (WAPA), a Federal 

power marketing agency of the 

Department of Energy, announces its 

Final 2018 Olmsted Power Marketing 

Plan and Call for Applications for an 

allocation of energy from the Olmsted 

Powerplant Replacement Project. 

DATES: Applications and Applicant 

Profile Data are due December 11, 2017 

to be assured of consideration by 

WAPA. 

ADDRESSES: Send applications to: Ms. 

Lynn Jeka, CRSP Manager, CRSP 

Management Center, Western Area 

Power Administration, 150 East Social 

Hall Avenue, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, 

UT 84111–1580. Applications may also 

be faxed to (801) 524–5017 or emailed

should be sent to CRSP Management 

Center, Western Area Power 

Administration, 150 East Social Hall

84111–1580; faxed to (801) 524–5017; or 

emailed to ljohnson@wapa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States acquired the Olmsted 

Powerplant in 1990 through 

condemnation proceedings in order to 

secure the water rights associated with 

the Olmsted Powerplant deemed 

essential to the Central Utah Project 

(CUP). The CUP is a participating 

project of the Colorado River Storage 

Project. As part of the condemnation 

proceedings, PacifiCorp continued 

Olmsted operations until 2015; after 

which time, the operation of the facility 

became the responsibility of the Bureau 

of Reclamation. 

The existing Olmsted Powerplant 

greatly exceeded its operational life, and 

a replacement facility was needed for 

the generation of power and 

preservation of associated nonconsumptive water rights. On February 

4, 2015, an Implementation Agreement 

(Agreement) for the Olmsted Powerplant 

Replacement Project (Project) was 

signed by Central Utah Water 

Conservancy District (District), the 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of 

Reclamation, and WAPA (Participants). 

The Agreement sets forth the 

responsibilities of the Participants and 

identifies funding of the Project. The 

District will construct, operate, 

maintain, and replace the Olmsted 

Powerplant and incidental facilities in 

connection with its CUP operations, 

including power generation. 

WAPA is responsible for marketing 

the Olmsted energy, which is 

anticipated to be first available in the 

summer of 2018. Power production will 

be incidental to the delivery of water 

and will only be available when water 

is present. Therefore, only energy, 

without capacity, will be available for 

marketing. It is expected that the annual 

energy production from the replacement 

Olmsted Powerplant will average 

around 27,000,000 kWh per year. 

Response to Comments on the Olmsted 

Proposed Marketing Criteria 

WAPA received numerous comments 

on its Proposed 2018 Olmsted Power 

Marketing Plan during the comment 

period. WAPA reviewed and considered 

all comments received, and this section 

summarizes and responds to the 

comments received. For brevity, when it 

was possible to do so without affecting 

the meaning of the statements, the 

public comments below were 

paraphrased. 

Comment: Can WAPA explain how it 

determined the marketing area? How 

were certain Utah counties picked? Is it 

based on the Provo River drainage? Why
