original and seven copies to: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
m. The application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
n. The project would be located at the
existing Lake Milton Dam, currently
owned by the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources. Lake Milton Dam is
a concrete gravity dam approximately
54 feet high and 760 feet long, with a
650-foot-long spillway and four, 60inch-diameter gate valves. The project
would also consist of the following new
facilities: (1) A tubular S-Type
propeller, 650-kilowatt turbinegenerating unit; (2) a trash rack with a
1-inch clear bar spacing over the
existing trashrack; and (3) a 25-foot by
35-foot powerhouse at the base of the
dam, over the existing discharge pipe.
No new penstock or tailrace are
proposed as the turbine would utilize
the existing 70-foot-long 60-inch
diameter cast iron conduit through the
dam, and the flows exiting the turbine
would be discharged directly into an
existing concrete stilling basin. The
proposed project would also include a
new 12.5-kilovolt transmission line
approximately 320 feet in length that
would be constructed and interconnect
with an existing distribution line to the
west.
The two-mile-long reservoir has a
surface area of 1,685 acres at a normal
pool elevation of 948 feet above mean
sea level. The project would operate in
a run-of-river mode and generate power
using flows between 25 cubic feet per
second (cfs) and 250 cfs. Flows above
250 cfs can be discharged through the
three remaining 60-inch discharge
pipes. The estimated annual generation
of the Lake Milton Project would be
3,659 megawatt-hours at a head range of
26–40 feet.
