[Project No. 15319-000]
Jupiter Pumped Storage 1, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On July 12, 2023, Jupiter Pumped Storage 1, 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
Mineral Run Pumped Storage Project (Mineral Run Project or project) to
be located in Cambria 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 Mineral Run Project would consist of the following:
(1) a new 9,400-foot-long, 85-foot-high rock-filled embankment dike
forming an upper reservoir having a surface area of 120 acres and a
total storage capacity of approximately 9,840 acre-feet at a normal
maximum water surface elevation of 2,282 feet above mean sea level
(msl); (2) a new 15,200-foot-long, 85-foot-high rock-filled embankment
dike forming a lower reservoir having a total storage capacity of
approximately 9,840 acre-feet at a normal maximum water surface
elevation of 2,062 feet msl; (3) a 32-foot-diameter, 100-foot-long
vertical tunnel and a 32-foot-diameter, 4,500-foot-long horizontal
tunnel and/or penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a
120-foot-wide, 600-foot-long powerhouse containing six reversible
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 208 megawatts;
(5) a new pump station along the eastern bank of Saltlick Run to convey
water through a 1,300-foot-long, 2-foot-diameter steel conduit to the
lower reservoir; (6) a 1.7-mile-long, 230-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the project to an existing substation; and (7) appurtenant
facilities. Initial fill and make-up water for the project would come
from Saltlick Run. The proposed project would have an annual generation
of 607,000 megawatt-hours.
