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.
