Hurricane Cliffs PSH, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 22, 2022, Hurricane Cliffs PSH, 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 Hurricane Cliffs
Pumped Storage Project to be located approximately 8 miles south of
Hurricane, 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 be primarily located on Bureau of Land
Management land and consist of the following: (1) a new upper reservoir
at a normal maximum operating elevation of 4,270 feet average mean sea
level, with a surface area of 200 acres and a total storage capacity of
3,920 acre-feet; (2) a new lower reservoir at a normal maximum
operating elevation of 3,550 feet average mean sea level, with a
surface area of 125 acres and a total storage capacity of 4,200 acre-
feet; (3) a new 1,500-foot-long low-pressure tunnel, 570-foot-long
vertical shaft, 1,440-foot-long high pressure tunnel, two 600-foot-long
buried headrace pipes, and a 2,700-foot-long tailrace tunnel or channel
connecting the two reservoirs with a maximum head of 1,230 feet; (3) a
new 300-foot-long, 100-foot-wide, and 50-foot-high powerhouse complex
comprised of three 85-foot-diameter shafts, each 250 feet deep and
housing a 166.6 megawatt reversible pump-turbine unit, and a subsurface
powerhouse building; (4) a new 25.3-mile-long (alternative A), or 25.9
mile-long (alternative B), 345-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
connecting the powerhouse to PacifiCorp's Purgatory Flat substation;
and (7) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual power generation
at the Hurricane Cliffs Pumped Storage Project would be 876,000
megawatt-hours.
