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 Luttrell, in Union and 
Grainger 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 10-foot-high, 11,600-foot-long roller compacted concrete ringed 
dike; (2) an upper reservoir with a surface area of 57.4 acres and an 
4,563 acre-foot storage capacity; (3) a 110-foot-high, 7,977.7-foot-
long earth embankment dam creating; (4) a lower reservoir with a 
surface area of 68.9 acres and a 3,196 acre-foot storage capacity; (5) 
one 24-foot-diameter, 4,050-foot-long penstock; (6) a bifurcation to 
three 16-foot-diameter, and 50-foot-long penstocks; (7) a powerhouse/
pumping station containing three pump/generating units with a total 
generating capacity of 320 megawatts; (8) a substation; (9) a 1.1-mile-
long, 500 kV transmission line to an existing distribution line; and 
(10) a new 1,300-foot-long access road. The proposed project would have 
an average annual generation of 500,000,000 megawatt-hours (MWh), which 
would be sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority.
