foot-long, above-ground penstock extending from the outlet of the 
intake tunnel to the powerhouse on the west bank of the Chilkoot River; 
(5) a 40-foot-long, 60-foot-wide powerhouse to contain two turbine/
generating units with a total installed capacity of 12 megawatts, with 
a hydraulic capacity of 90 cubic feet per second, and an average 
hydraulic head of 2,120 feet; (6) an excavated, riprap-lined channel 
tailrace extending about 50 feet from the powerhouse to the Chilkoot 
River; (7) a 14-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt transmission line proposed to
