Energy Recycling Company, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On April 24, 2024, Energy Recycling Company, 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
proposed Iron Range Pumped Storage Project, a closed loop pumped
storage project, to be located near the City of Marble, Itasca County,
Minnesota. 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 Iron Range Pumped Storage Project would consist of the
following: (1) a lower reservoir proposed approximately 2,700 feet
below the ground surface; (2) an enclosed upper reservoir proposed to
be constructed of a concrete lined rockfill embankment; (3) a
reinforced concrete 18-foot-diameter intake with a ``morning glory''
configuration; (4) a 2,800-foot-long vertical shaft penstock having a
diameter of 16 feet connecting the upper reservoir to the powerhouse;
(5) a 200-foot-long, 70-foot-wide, and 130-foot-high underground
powerhouse located approximately 2,700 feet below the ground surface;
(6) a 240-foot-long and 40-foot-high underground transformer gallery
lined with concrete; (7) two 333-megawatt hydroelectric pump/turbines,
(8) a new interconnection line approximately 200 to 500 feet long,
joining a new substation adjacent to the project to an existing 230-
kilovolt transmission line; and (9) a new pumping system to carry water
to the upper reservoir. The proposed project would have an estimated
annual generation of 1,450 gigawatt-hours.
