Reliable Storage 1 LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On March 25, 2011, Reliable Storage 1 LLC filed an application,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study
the feasibility of hydropower near the town of Sneedville, on Keaton
Creek, in Hancock County, Tennessee. 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 pumped storage project would consist of the following:
(1) A 160-foot-high, 4,386-foot-long earth embankment dam; (2) an upper
reservoir with a surface area of 57.4 acres and an 4,563 acre-foot
storage capacity; (3) a 180-foot-high, 323-foot-long earth embankment
dam creating; (4) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 32.1 acres
and an 2,553 acre-foot storage capacity; (5) one 24-foot-diameter,
3,400-foot-long penstock; (6) a bifurcation to three penstocks each 16-
foot-diameter, and 50-foot-long; (7) a powerhouse/pumping station
containing three pump/generating units with a total generating capacity
of 309 megawatts; (8) a substation; (9) a 5.62-mile-long, 500 kV
transmission line to an existing distribution line; and (10) a new
3,420-foot-long access road. The proposed project would have an average
annual generation of 322,000,000 megawatt hours (MWh), which would be
sold to a local utility.
