Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

August 9, 2010.
    On May 18, 2010, Music Mountain Hydro, 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 Music

[[Page 49930]]

Mountain Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project, located in Mohave 
County, in the state of Arizona. 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 developments:
    (1) Two artificial, lined reservoirs joined by approximately 10,430 
feed of conduit; (2) an upper dam with a height of 160 ft and 1,848 ft 
length at crest; (3) a lower embankment with a height of 50 ft and 
6,336 ft at length of crest; (4) an upper reservoir having a surface 
area of 112 acres and a storage capacity of 6,885 acre-feet and maximum 
water surface elevation of 5,715 feet mean sea level; (5) a lower 
reservoir having a surface area of 69 acres and a storage capacity of 
6,885 acre-feet and maximum water surface elevation of 4,940 feet mean 
sea level; (6) a proposed powerhouse containing three new pump/turbine 
generating units having an installed capacity of 350-megawatts; (7) 
dependent on the interconnection; a proposed 1-mile, single-circuit 500 
kilovolt transmission line, an 8.5 mile, single-circuit 500 kilovolt 
transmission line, or an 8.5 mile, single-circuit 345 kilovolt 
transmission line. The proposed development would have an average 
annual generation of 1,073,100 megawatt-hours.
