k. The application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis.
l. The proposed Crescent Street Dam
Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) An
existing 28-foot-high, 127-foot-long
concrete and masonry dam with a 98foot-long spillway topped with a 3-foothigh bascule gate; (2) an existing 4.5acre impoundment with a normal water
surface elevation of 541.3 feet National
Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929; (3)
existing generation facilities on the right
side of the dam that include: (a) an
intake structure equipped with a 7-foothigh, 7-foot-wide head gate and a 14foot-high, 17.5-feet-wide trashrack with
1.25-inch clear bar spacing; (b) a 25foot-long, 7-foot-diameter penstock; (c) a
44-foot-long, 28-foot-wide powerhouse
containing a 250 kilowatt (kW) turbine
generating unit; (d) a 7-foot-diameter,
47-foot-long bypass outlet conduit
equipped with a 7-foot-high, 7-foot-wide
gate; (e) a 16-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep,
200-foot-long tailrace; and (f) three
existing 180-foot-long, 600 volt
transmission lines; (4) existing
generation facilities on the left side of
the dam that include: (a) an 18-foot-long
weir equipped with a 6-foot-high, 6foot-wide slide gate and a 12-foot-high,
13.5-foot-wide trashrack with d-inch

100-foot-long tailrace; and (e) six 900foot-long, 600 volt transmission lines;
and (5) appurtenant facilities. The
project would have an estimated average
annual generation of 1,729.2 megawatthours. The applicant proposes to
construct downstream and upstream
fish passage facilities, a plunge pool,
and upstream eel passage facility if
required by fish and wildlife agencies,
and operate the project in a run-of-river
mode.
m. Due to the project works already
existing and the limited scope of
proposed modifications to the project
site described above, the applicant’s
close coordination with federal and
state agencies during the preparation of
the application, and agency
recommended preliminary terms and
conditions, we intend to waive scoping
and expedite the exemption process.
Based on a review of the application,
resource agency consultation letters,
Commission staff intends to prepare a
single environmental assessment (EA).
Commission staff determined that the
issues that need to be addressed in the
EA have been adequately identified
during the pre-filing period, which
included a public meeting and site visit,
PO 00000

and no new issues are likely to be
identified through additional scoping.
The EA will consider assessing the
potential effects of project construction
and operation on aquatic, terrestrial,
threatened and endangered species,
recreation and land use, aesthetic, and
cultural and historic resources.
n. A copy of the application is

bypass outlet conduit equipped with a 7-foot-high, 7-foot-wide gate;
(e) a 16-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep, 200-foot-long tailrace; and (f) three
existing 180-foot-long, 600 volt transmission lines; (4) existing
generation facilities on the left side of the dam that include: (a) an
18-foot-long weir equipped with a 6-foot-high, 6-foot-wide slide gate
and a 12-foot-high, 13.5-foot-wide trashrack with [frac34]-inch clear
bar spacing; (b) a 55-foot-long, 6-foot-diameter penstock; (c) a 37-
foot-long, 37-foot-wide powerhouse containing a 198 kW turbine
generating unit; (d) a 14-foot-wide, 9-foot-deep, 100-foot-long
tailrace; and (e) six 900-foot-long, 600 volt transmission lines; and
(5) appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated average
annual generation of 1,729.2 megawatt-hours. The applicant proposes to
construct downstream and upstream fish passage facilities, a plunge
pool, and upstream eel passage facility if required by fish and
wildlife agencies, and operate the project in a run-of-river mode.
m. Due to the project works already existing and the limited scope
of proposed modifications to the project site described above, the
applicant's close coordination with federal and state agencies during
the preparation of the application, and agency recommended preliminary
terms and conditions, we intend to waive scoping and expedite the
exemption process. Based on a review of the application, resource
agency consultation letters, Commission staff intends to prepare a
single environmental assessment (EA). Commission staff determined that
the issues that need to be addressed in the EA have been adequately
identified during the pre-filing period, which included a public
meeting and site visit, and no new issues are likely to be identified
through additional scoping. The EA will consider assessing the
potential effects of project construction and operation on aquatic,
terrestrial, threatened and endangered species, recreation and land
use, aesthetic, and cultural and historic resources.
