Upper System (1) A 40-foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 4-footwide diversion structure to divert up to five cubic feet per second (cfs) from Crooked Creek; (2) a 1,450-foot-long, 1foot-diameter penstock extending between the diversion structure and the powerhouse; (3) a powerhouse containing a 35-kilowatt (kW) power recovery turbine; (4) a 25-foot-long, 8foot-wide, 3-foot-deep cobble-lined tailrace discharging flows into Jim’s Lake; (5) an underground 7,300-footlong, 7.2/12.47-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from both of the project powerhouses to Elfin Cove’s existing 7.2/12.47-kV transmission line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. Lower System (1) A siphon intake located in Jim’s Lake to divert seven cfs from Jim’s Lake; (2) a 1,800-foot-long, 1.2-foot-diameter VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 May 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 penstock extending between the siphon intake and the powerhouse; (3) a powerhouse containing a 125-kW Pelton or impulse turbine; (4) a 150-foot-long, 8-foot-wide, 3-foot-deep cobble-lined tailrace discharging flows into Port Althorp; and (5) appurtenant facilities.
