BOST2 Hydroelectric LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On December 1, 2020, BOST2 Hydroelectric 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 Shawno County Pump 
Storage Project to be located near the Embarrass River and the Village 
of Tigerton, in Shawano County, Wisconsin. 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: (1) A upper 
circular reservoir with a surface area of 120 acres at a maximum normal 
pool elevation of 967 feet to 1,017 feet mean sea level (msl); (2) a 
lower 115,000-foot-long reservoir consisting of eight concentric 
circular tunnels with varying diameters of approximately 5,400 feet to 
4,200 feet at a maximum normal water surface elevation of 1,091 feet 
msl; (3) a 2,800-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter steel-lined penstock; (4) 
a 200-foot-long by 70-foot-wide by 130-foot-high powerhouse containing 
two 333-megawatt (MW) pump/turbines for a total project capacity of 666 
MW; (5) a 240-foot-long by 50-foot-wide by 40-foot-high transformer 
gallery; (6) a 200-foot-long by 200-foot-wide substation; (7) a 200 to 
500-foot-long 345-kilovolt transmission line; and (7) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Shawno Pump Storage 
Project would be 1,450 gigawatt-hours.
