k. Description of Project: The proposed closed-loop Johnson Canyon
Energy Project would consist of: (1) a 50-foot-high, 400-foot-long dam
forming a 20-acre upper reservoir with a storage capacity of 1,000
acre-feet; (2) a 50-foot-high, 450-foot-long dam forming a 25-acre
lower reservoir with a storage capacity of 1,250 acre-feet; (3)
underground tunnels connecting the upper and lower reservoirs
consisting of: (a) two, 10-foot diameter parallel pipes with a length
of 7,500-feet each; (b) two 10-foot diameter, 100-foot-high vertical
shafts; (c) a 25-foot diameter, 200-foot-long pump intake tunnel
located in the lower reservoir ; (4) a reinforced concrete and steel
powerhouse containing two 50 megawatt (MW) reversible pump-turbines for
a total installed capacity of 100 MW; and (5) appurtenant facilities.
The proposed project would connect to the Rocky Mountain Power system
at the Josephson substation via a new 1.6-mile overhead transmission
line.
When a Declaration of Intention is filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the Commission to
investigate and determine if the project would affect the interests of
interstate or foreign commerce. The Commission also determines whether
or not the project: (1) would be located on a navigable waterway; (2)
would occupy public lands or reservations of the United States; (3)
would utilize surplus water or water power from a government dam; or
(4) would be located on a non-navigable stream over which Congress has
Commerce Clause jurisdiction and would be constructed or enlarged after
1935.
