Description of Existing Facilities: The inoperative project consists of the following existing facilities: (1) A 14foot-high and 625-foot-long concrete dam; (2) a reservoir with an estimated storage area of 500 acre-feet; (3) a powerhouse with a total installed capacity of 645 kW; (4) transmission lines; and (5) appurtenant facilities. k.

At some point between May 2006 and September 2009, vandals stole wiring from the projects powerhouse, causing the project to become inoperable.

The exemptee has not properly maintained the project and it remains inoperable. By not operating the project as proposed and authorized, the exemptee is in violation of the terms and conditions of the exemption. l.
