This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready for environmental analysis. l. The existing York Haven Project consists of a headrace wall, main dam, east channel dam, powerhouse, and forebay bulkhead. The stone masonry headrace wall extends 3,000 feet upstream from the north end of the VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:06 May 03, 2013 Jkt 229001 powerhouse and, with an average height of 20 feet, directs flow to the powerhouse. The main dam is attached to the north end of the headrace where it runs diagonally across the main channel of the river approximately 4,970 feet to the west shore of Three Mile Island. The main dam is constructed of concrete fill, and has a maximum height at the crest of 17 feet and an average height of 10 feet. The east channel dam consists of a concrete gravity dam that extends approximately 950 feet east from the east shore of Three Mile Island to the east bank of the river. The east channel dam has an average height of 10 feet. The stone masonry forebay bulkhead wall, 155 feet long, extends west from the south end of the powerhouse to the transformer building, perpendicular to the shoreline. From the transformer building, the forebay bulkhead wall extends 475 feet north along the property line to the west bank of the river. A 14-foot-wide by 10.5-foot-tall trash sluice gate and associated spillway are located adjacent to the southern end of the powerhouse at the eastern end of the forebay wall. York Haven’s main dam and east channel dam impound the Susquehanna River, forming Lake Frederic that extends 3.5 miles upstream from the dam. Total storage in the 1,849-acre reservoir is approximately 8,000 acrefeet, and total useable storage is approximately 1,980 acre-feet. The current FERC license allows a 1.1-foot fluctuation in the project impoundment, but is not used under normal run-ofriver operation. The normal water surface elevation of the project impoundment is 276.5 feet.1 The elevation of the normal river surface below the dam is approximately 251.4 feet. The impoundment provides approximately 22.5 feet of net head for power generation purposes. The brick and stone masonry powerhouse has approximate dimensions of 470 feet by 48 feet and is located at the southern end of the headrace wall and at the eastern end of the forebay bulkhead wall. The powerhouse includes 20 turbinegenerator units and appurtenant equipment. The hydraulic equipment for units 1–3 are vertical-shaft, fixedblade, Kaplan turbines; unit 4 is a vertical-shaft, manually adjustable blade, Kaplan turbine; units 5 and 6 are vertical-shaft, fixed-blade, propellertype turbines; units 7, 8, 10–13, and 15– 20 each consist of two vertical-shaft, Francis turbines connected through bevel gears to a single horizontal shaft; 1 All elevations are referenced to National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929.

Water flowing through the turbines is discharged into the tailrace immediately downstream of the dam. There are no primary transmission lines included as part of the project. The York Haven Project interconnects with the 115-kilovolt (kV) grid at the substation located immediately downstream of the project’s forebay wall. A secondary service feed comes into the project substation via Line No. 722 at 13.2 kV. The York Haven Project has an authorized nameplate generating capacity of 19.65 MW and generates an average of 130,812 megawatt hours annually. York Haven Power is currently studying the feasibility of providing a nature-like fishway to enhance fish passage facilities at the project.
