As licensed, the existing Glendale Project consists of: (1) A 250-foot long, 30-foot high concrete gravity dam with a 182-foot-long spillway; (2) a 23-acre reservoir; (3) two manually operated 10 by 10-foot intake gates; (4) a 1,500-foot long, 40-foot wide intake canal; (5) a forebay structure and a 250-foot long, 12-foot diameter steel penstock; (6) a powerhouse with four turbines with a combined installed capacity of 1,140kilowatts; (7) a 300-foot long tailrace channel; (8) a step-up transformer and an 83-foot-long 13.8 kilovolt transmission line; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The Housatonic River reach that is bypassed by the project (measured from the gatehouse to the tailrace channel) is about 2,500 feet long. The proposed project would include a new 165-kW turbine unit in the waste gate slot located at the gatehouse adjacent to the project dam. This unit would operate off of a proposed minimum bypassed reach flow of 90 cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow. In addition, the proposed project would provide additional recreational access through formal canoe portage facilities and parking. The applicant estimates that the total average annual generation, with the proposed additional turbine, would be 5,800 megawatt-hours. The applicant proposes to continue to operate the project in run-of-river mode with an increase in minimum flow in the bypass reach from 10 cfs to 90 cfs or inflow, whichever is less.
