Renewable Energy Aggregators; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On September 20, 2018, Renewable Energy Aggregators, filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Waymart 
West Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be located in Clinton Township and 
Waymart Borough in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. 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: (1) A new 
upper reservoir with a surface area of 30 acres and a storage capacity 
of 450 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately 2,172 feet 
above mean sea level (msl) created through construction of a new 
roller-compacted concrete or rock-fill dam; (2) a new lower reservoir 
with a surface area of 35 acres and a storage capacity of 525 acre-feet 
at a surface elevation of 1,550 feet msl; (3) a new 2,100-foot-long, 4-
foot-diameter penstock connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a 
new 150-foot-long, 50-foot-wide, 25-foot-high powerhouse containing two 
turbine-generator units with a total rated capacity of 32 megawatts; 
(5) a new transmission line connecting the powerhouse to a nearby 
electric grid interconnection point with options to evaluate multiple 
grid interconnection locations; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed project would have an annual generation of 70,080 megawatt-
hours.
