m. The application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
n. The project would be located at an
existing dam owned and operated by the
Corps-St. Louis District. The existing
Lake Shelbyville Dam was constructed
in 1963 for the purposes of flood
control, recreation development, water
supply, navigation release, and fish and
wildlife conservation. In August of
1970, the USACE closed the gates to
start the initial filling of the lake. The
West Okaw and Kaskaskia rivers were
inundated 17 miles upstream of the
dam.
The Lake Shelbyville Dam is an
earthen embankment with an elevation
of 643 feet above mean sea level (MSL).
The dam is 3,025 feet long and rises 108
feet above the river bed. The concrete
spillway is located at 593 feet MSL and
is topped by three Tainter gates that are
approximately 45 feet wide by 37 feet
high. The two regulating outlet
structures release water through the face
of the spillway. The impoundment
above the Lake Shelbyville Dam,
referred to as Lake Shelbyville, varies
according to flood control operations
controlled by the Corps. Lake
Shelbyville has a maximum storage
capacity of 684,000 acre-feet. Of the
684,000 acre-feet of storage, 474,000
acre-feet have been designated for flood
control.
The average depth of the reservoir is
16 feet and the maximum is 67 feet.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 219 / Monday, November 14, 2011 / Notices
The proposed Lake Shelbyville
Project would consist of: (1) A
powerhouse located downstream on the
western embankment of the spillway;
(2) a penstock, which would be
connected to the west outlet structure,
and extend along the western bank to
the powerhouse; (3) a trash rack with 4inch spacing that would be integrated
into the existing intake structure; (4) a
new transformer pad located adjacent to
the powerhouse; (5) a modified access
road that would pass to the west of the
powerhouse; (6) a parking lot on the
west side of the powerhouse; (7) a 49foot-long by 105-foot-wide tailrace; (8)
407 feet of 12.47-kilovolt (kV) buried
transmission line to connect the project
to the existing Shelby Electric
Cooperative substation located 900 feet
downstream of the dam; (9) three
turbine-generator units for a combined
installed capacity of 6.8 megawatts; and
(10) appurtenant facilities. The
projected annual energy generation
would be 20.3 gigawatt hours.
The project would operate in a run-ofrelease mode utilizing releases from
Lake Shelbyville as they are dictated by
the Corps, with no proposed change to
the Corps’ facility operation. Power
generation would be seasonally variable
as flow regimens and pool levels are set
forth by the Corps. The project would
generate power using flows between 130
cfs (cubic feet per second) to 1,500 cfs.
When flows are below 130 cfs, all flows
would be passed through the existing
outlet structure and the project would
then be offline. When flows are greater
than 1,500 cfs, excess flow would be
passed through the existing outlet
structure.
o. A copy of the application is
available for review at the Commission
in the Public Reference Room or may be
viewed on the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.ferc.gov using the
‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in
the docket number field to access the

Preservation, 36, CFR, at 800.4.
