[Project No. 15289-000]
Peak Hour Power, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On October 25, 2022, Peak Hour Power, 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 Silver Creek Pumped
Storage Project to be located at Blythe Township in Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania. 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 150 acres and a storage capacity
of 8,000 to 10,000 acre-feet at a pool elevation between 1,650 to 1,700
feet above sea level (asl) and 1,750 to 1,800 feet asl created through
construction of a roller-compacted concrete or rock-fill semi-circular
dam and/or dike; (2) a new lower reservoir with a surface area of 100
acres and a storage capacity of 10,000 acre-feet at a pool elevation
between 1,200 to 1,300 feet asl at the site of the existing Silver
Creek reservoir and neighboring abandoned mine land; (3) a new 3,000-
foot-long, 25-foot-diameter penstock connecting the upper reservoir and
the underground powerhouse; (4) a new 250-foot-long, 70-foot-wide, 120-
foot-high underground powerhouse containing two 125-megawatt (MW)
pumping-generating units with a total installed capacity of 250 MW; (5)
a new 2-mile-long, 230-kilovolt transmission line; and (6) appurtenant
facilities. The proposed project would have an annual generation of
784,750 megawatt-hours.
