[Project No.15237-000]
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
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of Barn Canyon Pumped Storage
Project to be located about 4 miles North of Helper, Utah. 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 new
upper reservoir with a surface area of 42 acres and a total storage
capacity of 986 acre-feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of
8,355 feet average mean sea level (msl); (2) a new lower reservoir with
a surface area of 28 acres and a total storage capacity of 1,664 acre-
feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 6,240 feet msl; (3) a
12,672-foot-long penstock, with a hydraulic head of 2,035 feet,
connecting the upper and lower reservoirs to the powerhouse; (4) a new
underground powerhouse that would be sited along the western shore of
the lower reservoir containing three Francis turbine-generator units
with a total rated capacity of 300 megawatts; (5) a new 10.2-mile-long,
345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting the powerhouse to
PacifiCorp's existing Huntington-Spanish Fork substation constructed in
1979 for alternative 1; (6) a new 0.8-mile-long, 138-kV transmission
line to interconnect the powerhouse to PacifiCorp's existing Carbon
substation for alternative 2; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual power generation at the Barn Canyon Pumped Storage
would be 624 gigawatt-hours.
