Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications; Corral 
Creek South Hydro, LLC

    On April 3, 2012, Corral Creek South 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 
Corral Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (project) to be 
located near Twin Falls in Twin Falls County, Idaho. 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 new facilities: 
(1) A 180-foot-high, 8,400-foot-long upper earthen dam; (2) an upper 
reservoir with surface area of 118 acres, storage capacity of 9,120 
acre-feet, and maximum pool elevation of 6,620 feet mean sea level 
(msl); (3) a 200-foot-high, 4,140-foot-long lower earthen dam; (4) a 
lower reservoir with surface area of 113 acres, storage capacity of 
10,880 acre-feet, and maximum pool elevation of 5,500 feet msl; (5) a 
30-foot-diameter, 4,710-foot-long steel penstock; (6) a powerhouse 
containing 4 pump/turbine units with a total installed capacity of 
1,100 megawatts; (7) a 10.6-mile-long, 500-kilovolt transmission line; 
and (8) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the 
project would be 3,212 gigawatt-hours.
