Oklahoma Rose Water LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit

Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To

Intervene, and Competing Applications

On September 30, 2010, Oklahoma Rose Water 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

Clayton, on the Kiamichi River in Pushmataha 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) A 125-foot-high, 1,700-foot-long earth embankment dam; (2) a 50- foot-high, 700-foot-long earth embankment saddle dam creating; (3) an upper reservoir with a surface area of 104 acres and an 7,000 acre-foot storage capacity; (4) a 85-foot-high, 7,500-foot-long earth embankment dam creating; (5) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 130 acres and an 7,100 acre-foot storage capacity; (6) one 28-foot-diameter, 8,400-foot-long penstock connecting the two reservoirs; (7) a powerhouse/pumping station containing 4 pump/generating units with a total generating capacity of 840 megawatts; (8) a 5-foot-high, 200- foot-long diversion dam on the Kiamichi River for filling the reservoirs creating; (9) a reservoir, on the Kiamichi River, with a surface area of 25 acres and an 50 acre-foot storage capacity; (10) a 24-inch-diameter, 1,000-foot-long pipeline from the diversion dam to the lower reservoir and (11) a transmission line to an existing distribution line. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 2,150,000 megawatt-hours (MWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
