Summary: Swan Lake North Hydro filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on October 28, 2015 for construction and operation of 393.3-megawatt Swan Lake North Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 13318) would be located about 11 miles northeast of the city of Klamath Falls, Klamath County, Oregon. The project would occupy 730 acres of federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the Bureau of Reclamation, state lands, and private lands. The Bureau of Reclamation will be issuing a Right-of-Use (ROU) authorization, for a transmission line to be constructed on two remote 40-acre parcels east of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The 19-acre site, adjacent to the Lost River, will be used to construct and maintain an electrical transmission line, associated right-of-way, four mono-poles that support the transmission line and temporary access roads for the Swan Lake project. Reclamation adopted and re-circulated the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on July 19, 2019. Reclamation completed a Record of Decision (ROD) to authorize use of the public land after adopting the regulatory agency's final environmental document, which was released on January 25, 2019. Reclamation worked with FERC on the development of the Final EIS beginning in 2016.
