k. The Project Description: The project
includes the following constructed
facilities: (1) A 480-foot-long earthen
dam with a 12-inch reinforced concrete
corewall consisting of (a) A 183-footlong, 32.5-foot-high earthen dike with a
top elevation 90.0 feet local datum; (b)
a 119-foot-long, 34-foot-high Taintor
gate section with a sill elevation at 64
feet local datum and a 3-foot-wide
transition section, five 20-foot-wide
bays, and four 4-foot-wide gate piers; (c)
an 89-foot-long, 35-foot-high Ambursentype ungated spillway section with a
crest elevation of 75.38 feet local datum;
(d) an 18.83-foot-long gravity-type
ungated spillway section with a crest
elevation of 75.38 feet local datum and
30-inch wooden pin-type flashboards;
and (e) a 70-foot-long powerhouse and
intake integral with the dam containing
a single 2,000 kW turbine-generator; (2)
a 134-acre reservoir at an elevation of
77.9 feet local datum with a usable
storage capacity of 268 acre-feet at a
drawdown of 2 feet; and (3) appurtenant
facilities.
The existing Scotland project operates
in a run-of-river mode during high flow
periods and a store-and-release mode,
with ponding, during low-flow periods.
Both applicants propose to increase
capacity by installing an additional
turbine and generator in the existing
powerhouse. Norwich Public Utilities’
proposal would increase capacity by 3.0
MW. FirstLight’s proposal would
increase capacity by 1.026 MW. Both
applicants propose to operate the
project in a run-of-river mode.
