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 Corps closed the gates to start the initial filling of the lake. The West Okaw and Kaskaskia rivers were inundated for 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-feethigh. 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. The proposed Lake Shelbyville Project would consist of: (1) A trash rack with 4-inch spacing integrated into the Corps’ existing west intake structure; (2) a steel liner installed in the Corps’ existing west outlet chamber transitioning to a bifurcation; (3) a 13foot-diameter bifurcation and a river release valve installed at the west outlet structure; (4) a 13-foot-diameter penstock at the bifurcation after which it reduces to a 12-foot-diameter, 570foot-long steel penstock; (5) a 60-footlong, 40-foot-wide, 68.5-foot-high reinforced concrete powerhouse containing a 6.8-megawatt Kaplan turbine-generator with a flow of 130 to 1,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) at a net head of 33 to 77 feet; (6) an approximately 25-foot-wide, 25-footlong draft tube; (7) a 25 to 105-footwide, 49-foot-long tailrace; (8) a 12.47kilovolt, 407-foot-long buried transmission line connecting the project to an existing Shelby Electric Cooperative substation located 900 feet downstream of the dam; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The project boundary would include 3.24 acres of Federal lands owned by the Corps. The annual average energy production is estimated to 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:41 May 15, 2012 Jkt 226001 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 and 1,500 cfs. When flows are below 130 cfs, all flows would be passed through the Corps’ 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. m. Scoping: Commission staff completed the scoping process for the proposed project, including a site visit and public meeting, by letter issued on March 12, 2010.
