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.
