Project Description: The proposed Pacolet Hydroelectric Project would consist of two developments with a total installed capacity of 1,900 kilowatts (kW). The project would produce an estimated 8,100,000 kilowatt-hours annually. The electricity produced by the project would be sold to Lockhart Power Company’s customers. The upper development would include the following existing and proposed facilities: (1) An existing 18foot high, 315-foot-long concrete gravity dam with proposed three-foot-high flashboards; (2) an existing 30-acre reservoir, with a useable storage capacity of 90 acre-feet; (3) a proposed 36-foot-wide intake that would be equipped with trashracks having a 1.375-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a proposed 24- by 40-foot concrete powerhouse, containing a vertical Kaplan turbine with an estimated hydraulic capacity of 550 cubic feet per second (cfs) and an estimated generating capacity of 1,100 kW; (5) a proposed tailrace; (6) a proposed 1,000-foot-long, 34.5 kilovolt (kV) transmission line; (7) a proposed switchyard with storage warehouse; and (8) appurtenant facilities. The lower development includes the following constructed facilities: (1) A 24foot-high, 347-foot-long, concrete gravity dam with 4-foot-high flashboards; (2) an 11-acre impoundment, with a useable storage capacity of 44 acre-feet; (3) an intake structure, equipped with trashracks having 1.375-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a 67-foot-long by 32-foot-wide concrete powerhouse, containing two vertical turbines with each having a maximum hydraulic capacity of 225 cfs and being directly connected to a 400-kW generator unit; (5) a tailrace with training wall; (6) an approximately 450foot-long bypassed reach; (7) a 250-footlong, 34.5-kV transmission line; (8) a switchyard containing a storage warehouse and three transformers; and (9) appurtenant facilities. Both developments would be operated in a modified run-of-river mode, where water levels in each reservoir would be maintained within 0.1-inch from the top of the flash boards, except during peak generation periods when water levels could drop 3 to 4 feet below the crest of the dam, depending on the development. The E:\FR\FM\02DEN1.SGM 02DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 2, 2009 / Notices applicant proposes to release a minimum flow from the lower development that equals leakage from the dam (seasonally ranging from 22 to 49 cfs). Since the tailrace of the upper development discharges directly into the lower development’s reservoir, no minimum flow is proposed for the upper development. o.

    m. This application is not ready for environmental analysis at this 
time.
    n. Project Description: The proposed Pacolet Hydroelectric Project 
would consist of two developments with a total installed capacity of 
1,900 kilowatts (kW). The project would produce an estimated 8,100,000 
kilowatt-hours annually. The electricity produced by the project would 
be sold to Lockhart Power Company's customers.
    The upper development would include the following existing and 
proposed facilities: (1) An existing 18-foot high, 315-foot-long 
concrete gravity dam with proposed three-foot-high flashboards; (2) an 
existing 30-acre reservoir, with a useable storage capacity of 90 acre-
feet; (3) a proposed 36-foot-wide intake that would be equipped with 
trashracks having a 1.375-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a proposed 24- by 
40-foot concrete powerhouse, containing a vertical Kaplan turbine with 
an estimated hydraulic capacity of 550 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 
an estimated generating capacity of 1,100 kW; (5) a proposed tailrace; 
(6) a proposed 1,000-foot-long, 34.5 kilovolt (kV) transmission line; 
(7) a proposed switchyard with storage warehouse; and (8) appurtenant 
facilities.
    The lower development includes the following constructed 
facilities: (1) A 24-foot-high, 347-foot-long, concrete gravity dam 
with 4-foot-high flashboards; (2) an 11-acre impoundment, with a 
useable storage capacity of 44 acre-feet; (3) an intake structure, 
equipped with trashracks having 1.375-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a 67-
foot-long by 32-foot-wide concrete powerhouse, containing two vertical 
turbines with each having a maximum hydraulic capacity of 225 cfs and 
being directly connected to a 400-kW generator unit; (5) a tailrace 
with training wall; (6) an approximately 450-foot-long bypassed reach; 
(7) a 250-foot-long, 34.5-kV transmission line; (8) a switchyard 
containing a storage warehouse and three transformers; and (9) 
appurtenant facilities.
    Both developments would be operated in a modified run-of-river 
mode, where water levels in each reservoir would be maintained within 
0.1-inch from the top of the flash boards, except during peak 
generation periods when water levels could drop 3 to 4 feet below the 
crest of the dam, depending on the development. The

[[Page 63149]]

applicant proposes to release a minimum flow from the lower development 
that equals leakage from the dam (seasonally ranging from 22 to 49 
cfs). Since the tailrace of the upper development discharges directly 
into the lower development's reservoir, no minimum flow is proposed for 
the upper development.
