[Project No. 15261-000]
Nevada Hydro, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On February 8, 2022, Nevada Hydro Company, Inc. 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 Lake
Elsinore Advanced Pumped Storage Project to be located on Lake Elsinore
and San Juan Creek near the city of Lake Elsinore in Riverside and San
Diego Counties, California. The project would occupy about 845 acres of
federal land administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service.
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: (1) A new upper reservoir
(Decker Canyon) with a gross storage volume of 5,750 acre-feet and a
surface area of approximately 70 acres at a normal reservoir surface
elevation of 2,790 feet above mean sea level (msl); (2) a 262-foot-high
main dam located on the southwest side of the upper reservoir; (3) a
water conduit system consisting of a 1,248-foot-long, 25-foot-diameter
concrete-lined power shaft and a 8,247-foot-long, 15-foot-diameter
power tunnel transitioning to two, 250-foot-long, 12-foot-diameter
steel penstocks; (4) an underground powerhouse with two, reversible
Francis-type pump-turbine units with a total installed capacity of 500
megawatts; (5) the existing Lake Elsinore, to be used as a lower
reservoir, with a surface area of about 3,412 acres at a normal
reservoir surface elevation of 1,249 feet above msl; (6) two 2,450-
foot-long, 25-foot-wide, and 25-foot-high concrete-lined tailrace
tunnels; (7) about 32 miles of 500-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the project to an existing transmission line owned by
Southern California Edison that is located north of the proposed
project and to an existing San Diego Gas and Electric Company
transmission line located to the south; and (8) appurtenant facilities.
The estimated annual generation of the project would be 1,560 gigawatt-
hours.
