Wild Flower Water LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On September 23, 2010, Wild Flower 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) An 85-foot-high, 800-foot-long earth embankment dam creating; (2)
an upper reservoir with a surface area of 220 acres and an 8,000 acre-
foot storage capacity; (3) a 50-foot-high, 10,500-foot-long earth
embankment dam creating; (4) a lower reservoir with a surface area of
300 acres and an 8,400 acre-foot storage capacity; (5) two 28-foot-
diameter, 7,500-foot-long penstocks connecting the two reservoirs; (6)
a powerhouse/pumping station containing 4 pump/generating units with a
total generating capacity of 1,100 megawatts; (7) a 5-foot-high, 200-
foot-long diversion dam on the Kiamichi River for filling the
reservoirs; (8) a reservoir, on the Kiamichi River, with a surface area
of 50 acres and an 100 acre-foot storage capacity; (9) a 1,200-foot-
long pipeline from the diversion dam to the lower reservoir and (10) a
transmission line to an existing distribution line. The proposed
project would have an average annual generation of 2,810,000 megawatt-
hours (MWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
