Norton Pump Storage, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On October 1, 2021, Norton Pump Storage, 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 Norton Pump
Storage Project to be located near the city of Norton, in Summit County
and Medina County, Ohio. 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 excavated, diked,
asphalt-lined 255-acre upper reservoir having a maximum water surface
area of about 200 acres and a total volume of 7,800 acre-feet; (2) an
existing lower 338-million cubic foot (7,760 acre-feet) underground
reservoir created by previous limestone mining activities; (3) a
possible diversion channel around the upper reservoir; (4) an
underground powerhouse and appurtenant structures
[[Page 34870]]
including six 250-megawatt variable speed, reversible pump turbines;
(5) power plant buildings and surface structures; (6) a 7000-foot-long,
28-foot-diameter concrete-lined power tunnel connected to two 2400-
foot-long, 17.5-foot-diameter concrete vertical shafts that are
connected to the underground powerhouse; (7) an underground transformer
gallery; (8) six 235-foot-long, 6.25-foot-diameter steel-and concrete-
lined penstocks; (9) four 345-kilovolt overhead transmission line
circuits, 2.4 miles long, arranged in two parallel double circuit tower
sets within an existing transmission line corridor located south of the
reservoir; and (10) offsite and onsite recreational facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the Norton Pump Storage Project would be
between 1,300 and 2,000 million kilowatt-hours.
