Download as PDF wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 227 / Friday, November 25, 2011 / Notices June 16 and March 31, provided that the existing downstream minimum flow requirement during refill of at least 100 cfs is maintained. Central Vermont also proposes to refrain from conducting reservoir drawdowns during the period of April 1 to June 15, when Proctor will be operating in a run-of-river mode. In addition, peaking constraints would be utilized under normal operations of no greater than a 4.5:1 ratio between maximum and minimum flow in a 24hour period. Central Vermont is also proposing to alter the existing bypassed reach minimum flows at the Proctor and Beldens developments. At the Proctor development, Central Vermont is proposing to provide a continuous bypassed reach minimum flow of 54 cfs, and to provide the remainder of the existing 100-cfs minimum tailrace flow through the powerhouse. At the Beldens development, Central Vermont is proposing to provide a 10-cfs minimum flow in both the east and west channels. Central Vermont is also proposing the following environmental measures: (1) Improve and enhance the existing takeout for the canoe portage around the Beldens dam; (2) formalize and enhance the tailwater access site at the Proctor development; and (3) provide expanded public recreational use of the site adjacent to the Proctor development’s penstock that would provide viewing opportunities with interpretive signage for public education about the historic Vermont Marble buildings and local cultural history. l.
