Solia 1 Hydroelectric, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On June 22, 2022, Solia 1 Hydroelectric, 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 St. Lawrence
County Pumped Storage Project to be located about 1 mile southwest of
the City of Pyrites in St. Lawrence County, New York. 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 120 acres and a storage capacity
of 4,500 acre-feet at a maximum pool elevation of 605 feet mean sea
level created through construction of a new rock-fill dam; (2) a new
lower reservoir consisting of eight concentric circular tunnels with a
storage capacity of 4,500 acre-feet at a depth of 2,500 feet below the
ground surface; (3) a new 100-foot outside diameter, 18-foot inside
diameter ``morning glory'' shaped vertical intake located in the upper
reservoir; (4) a new 2,800-foot-long, 16-foot-diameter penstock
connecting the upper reservoir and the underground powerhouse; (5) a
new 200-foot-long, 70-foot-wide, 130-foot-high underground powerhouse
containing two 333-megawatt (MW) reversible pump-turbines with a total
installed capacity of 666 MW; (6) a new 200- to 500-foot-long, 230-
kilovolt (kV) or 765-kV transmission line connecting the underground
transformer gallery and the new substation to the existing grid; (7) a
new 200-foot-long, 200-foot-wide substation; (8) a new pumping facility
for providing initial filling water and makeup water obtained from the
Grass River located within the eastern part of the project boundary;
and (9) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an
annual generation of 1,450 gigawatt-hours.
