l. Project Description: The existing
project includes the following facilities:
(1) A 480-foot-long earthen dam with a
12-inch reinforced concrete corewall
consisting of (a) a 183-foot-long, 32.5foot-high earthen dike with a top
elevation 90.0 feet local datum; (b) a
119-foot-long, 34-foot-high Tainter 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-footlong, 35-foot-high Ambursen-type
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 2.0-megawatt (MW) turbinegenerator; (2) a 134-acre reservoir at an
elevation of 77.9 feet local datum with
a usable storage capacity of 268 acrefeet; and (3) appurtenant facilities.
The existing Scotland Project operates
in a run-of-river mode during high flow
periods and in 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. FirstLight’s proposal
would increase capacity by 1.026 MW.
Norwich Public Utilities’ proposal
would increase capacity by 3.0 MW.
Both applicants propose to operate the
project as run-of-river at all times.

available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
