White Pine Waterpower, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for White
Pine Pumped Storage Project
This notice revises the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's
(Commission) schedule for processing White Pine Waterpower, LLC's
license application for the White Pine Pumped Storage Project. A prior
notice issued on May 11, 2023, identified an anticipated schedule for
issuance of draft and final National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
documents and a final order for the project. After the issuance of that
notice, White Pine Waterpower, LLC indicated that it will be conducting
a hydrogeologic study that provides data on local aquifer stratigraphy,
groundwater elevation, and water quality needed to support the design
of the project's water supply wellfield. White Pine Waterpower, LLC
stated that it would file the study results by ``November 2024''. On
October 26, 2023, Commission staff issued a letter requiring White Pine
Waterpower, LLC to file the corresponding study results with the Bureau
of Land Management before filing them with the Commission by January
31, 2025. To account for the additional time needed for White Pine
Waterpower, LLC to complete the studies and file the study results, the
application will be processed according to the following revised
schedule.
Notice of Ready for Environmental Analysis: April 14, 2025
Draft NEPA Document: January 9, 2026
Final NEPA Document: July 24, 2026
In addition, in accordance with Title 41 of the Fixing America's
Surface Transportation Act, enacted on December 4, 2015, agencies are
to publish completion dates for all federal environmental reviews and
authorizations. This notice identifies the Commission's anticipated
schedule for issuance of the final order for the project, which is
based on the revised issuance date for the final NEPA document.
Accordingly, we currently anticipate issuing a final order for the
project no later than:
Issuance of Final Order November 19, 2026
If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will
be provided so that interested parties and government agencies are kept
informed of the project's progress.
Dated: November 15, 2023.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
