[Project No. 15239-000]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for
Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing
Applications
On October 13, 2021, PacifiCorp filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the Crooked Creek Pumped Storage
Project (Crooked Creek Project or project) to be located near Valley
Falls, Lake County, Oregon. 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) An upper
reservoir with a surface area of 52 acres and a storage volume of
approximately 2,344 acre-feet created by a 4,200-foot-long, 100-foot-
high embankment dam; (2) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 50
acres and a storage volume of approximately 2,052 acre-feet created by
a 4,300-foot-long, 130 foot-high embankment dam; (3) a 2-mile-long
excavated tunnel and 1.3-mile-long steel penstock totaling 3.3 miles
with a diameter of 18-feet connecting the upper reservoir with the
powerhouse/pump station; (4) a 150-foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse/pump station located on the lower reservoir shoreline
containing three 167-megawatt generating/pumping units; (5) a 19.7-
mile, 500-kilovolt transmission line interconnecting to PacifiCorp's
existing Mile Hi substation in Lakeview, Oregon; (6) an 8.7 mile
underground pipeline diverting water from the Chewaucan River to the
project for initial and maintenance fill; and, (7) appurtenant
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Crooked Creek
Project would be 1,460 gigawatt-hours.
