Hydropower Highway LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On May 13, 2021, Hydropower Highway LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act,
proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed Camp Pendleton
Pumped Storage Hydro Project (Camp Pendleton Project), a hydropower
project proposed to be located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean,
partially within Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, in San Diego County,
California. 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 consist of the following new facilities:
(1) an 850-foot-high lined earthen dam with a crest elevation of
approximately 800 feet above mean sea level (msl); (2) a 515-acre upper
reservoir having a total storage capacity of approximately 12,763 acre-
feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 750 feet msl; (3) up to
ten 14,300-foot-long, steel-lined underground penstocks between the
upper reservoir and the powerhouse; (4) a powerhouse containing 10
advanced ternary pumped storage single runner turbine-generator units
rated for 520 megawatts; (5) a 2,000-foot-long tailrace connecting the
powerhouse to the Pacific Ocean; (6) a transmission line, for which the
point of interconnection with the grid would be determined under the
permit; and (7) appurtenant facilities. The lower reservoir for the
proposed project would be the Pacific Ocean. The estimated annual
generation of the Camp Pendleton Project would be 1,926,470 megawatt-
hours.
