APPLICATIONS
(May 18, 2011)
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 Ravenscroft, on Doe Creek, in White and Putnam Counties, 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 70-foothigh,
7,500-foot-long earth embankment dam; (2) an upper reservoir with a surface area
of 100 acres and an 7,100 acre-foot storage capacity; (3) a 150-foot-high, 1,300-foot-long
earth embankment dam creating; (4) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 150 acres
and an 10,500 acre-foot storage capacity; (5) one 30-foot-diameter, 5,800-foot-long
penstock; (6) a bifurcation to three penstocks each 16-foot-diameter, and 100-foot-long;
(7) an underground powerhouse/pumping station containing three pump/generating units
with a total generating capacity of 600 megawatts; (8) a 30-foot-diameter, 850-foot-long
tailrace tunnel; (9) a 24-foot-diameter, 1,500-foot-long access tunnel; (10) a substation;
and (11) a 12.8-mile-long, 500 kV transmission line to an existing distribution line. The
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 1,500,000 megawatt-hours
(MWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
