k. The Project Description:
Bucks Lake Dam and Reservoir (Bucks
Creek Development)
The Bucks Lake dam consists of a
rock-fill with concrete face dam. It has
a structural height of 123 feet and a
length of 1,320 feet. Bucks Creek dam
impounds Bucks Lake, which extends 5
miles from the dam. Total storage in the
1,827-acre reservoir is approximately
105,605 acre-feet at the normal
maximum water surface elevation of
approximately 5,157 feet. From Bucks
Lake, the project’s water flow is released
immediately downstream into Lower
Bucks Lake.
Three Lakes Dam and Reservoir, and
Milk Ranch Conduit (Bucks Creek
Development)
The Three Lakes dam consists of a
rock-fill dam with a structural height of
30 feet and a length of 584 feet. Three
Lakes dam impounds the flow of Milk

Sfmt 4703
Ranch Creek, forming Upper Lake,
Middle Lake, and Lower Lake,
collectively known as Three Lakes
reservoir. These water bodies are
hydraulically linked and are
approximately 0.75 mile from the dam.
Total storage in the 40-acre reservoir is
approximately 513 acre-feet at the
normal maximum water surface
elevation of approximately 6,074 feet.
Milk Ranch conduit conveys the
project’s water flow from Three Lakes
reservoir and feeder diversions to Lower
Bucks Lake. The maximum capacity of
the approximately 8-mile-long conduit
is about 70 cubic foot per second (cfs).
It collects additional flow from several
diversions located on unnamed
tributaries.
Lower Bucks Lake Dam and Reservoir
(Bucks Creek Development)
The Lower Bucks Lake dam consists
of a concrete arch dam with a structural
height of 99 feet and a length of 500 feet.
Lower Bucks Creek dam impounds
Lower Bucks Lake, which extends
approximately 1.1 miles from the dam.
Total storage in the 136-acre reservoir is
approximately 5,843 acre-feet at the
normal maximum water surface
elevation of approximately 5,022 feet.
Water is conveyed from Lower Bucks
Lake to the Grizzly powerhouse by the
Grizzly powerhouse tunnel.
Grizzly Powerhouse Tunnel (Grizzly
Development)
The 12,320-foot-long Grizzly
powerhouse tunnel (including a 4,900foot-long buried penstock) conveys the
water flow from Lower Bucks Lake to
Grizzly powerhouse. The maximum
flow capacity is 400 cfs.
Grizzly Powerhouse (Grizzly
Development)
The Grizzly powerhouse is a 65-footlong by 55-foot-wide, steel frame and
concrete building constructed from
reinforced concrete, with a maximum
capacity of 20 megawatts (MW) and an
average annual generation production of
48.9 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Grizzly
powerhouse discharges the project’s
water flow directly into the Grizzly
forebay.
A 3.2-mile-long, 115-kilovolt (kV)
transmission line transmits power from
Grizzly powerhouse to PG&E’s 115-kV
Caribou-Sycamore transmission line,
part of the interconnected system.
Grizzly Forebay Dam and Reservoir
(Bucks Creek Development)
The Grizzly forebay dam consists of a
concrete arch dam with a structural
height of 98 feet and a length of 520 feet.
Grizzly forebay dam impounds the

Grizzly forebay, forming the Grizzly
forebay reservoir that extends
approximately 0.8 mile. Total storage in
the 38-acre reservoir is approximately
1,112 acre-feet at the normal maximum
water surface elevation of
approximately 4,316 feet.
Grizzly Forebay Tunnel (Bucks Creek
Development)
From Grizzly forebay, the project’s
water flow is conveyed through the
horseshoe-shaped Grizzly forebay
tunnel. The tunnel is 9,575-foot-long
with two 4,786-foot-long penstocks
leading to Bucks Creek powerhouse.
The maximum flow capacity is 400 cfs.
Bucks Creek Powerhouse (Bucks Creek
Development)
The project’s water flow is conveyed
through the Grizzly forebay tunnel to
Bucks Creek powerhouse. The Bucks
Creek powerhouse is a 47-foot-long by
132-foot-wide, steel frame and concrete
building constructed from reinforced
concrete. The powerhouse has a total
maximum capacity of 65 MW with an
average annual generation of 234.8
GWh. The powerhouse connects
directly to the non-project switchyard
adjacent to the powerhouse part of the
interconnected transmission system.
Bucks Creek powerhouse discharges
the project’s water flow in the North
Fork Feather River, one mile upstream
of Rock Creek powerhouse, part of
PG&E’s Rock Creek-Cresta Hydroelectric
Project (FERC Project No. 1962).
