Magnolia Water LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On September 30, 2010, Magnolia Water LLC filed an application, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study 
the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
(Corps) Sardis Lake in Latimer County, Oklahoma. 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) An 120-foot-high, 9,000-foot-long earth embankment dam creating; 
(2) an upper reservoir with a surface area of 85 acres and an 5,000 
acre-foot storage capacity; (3) a 60-foot-high, 7,300-foot-long earth 
embankment dam creating; (4) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 
200 acres and an 5,000 acre-foot storage capacity;

[[Page 25320]]

(5) one 32-foot-diameter, 8,000-foot-long penstock connecting the two 
reservoirs; (6) a powerhouse/pumping station containing 3 pump/
generating units with a total generating capacity of 750 megawatts; (7) 
(8) a 9,000-foot-long pipeline from Corps' Sardis Lake to fill the 
lower reservoir and (9) a transmission line to an existing distribution 
line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 
1,920,000 megawatt-hours (MWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
