Intake
The intake will consist of a diversion/
cut off weir with a height of
approximately 3–8 feet and a length of
approximately 100 feet. A below grade
transition with an above-ground air
relief inlet pipe will convey water to a
buried high-density polyethylene pipe
and steel pipe penstock.
Penstock
A 10,100-foot-long penstock
consisting of an 18-inch-diameter
polyethylene pipe, a 20-inch-diameter
polyethylene pipe, and a 16-inchdiameter steel pipe will be installed. A
total of 7,400 feet of polyethylene will
be installed from the intake and 2,750
feet of steel pipe will be installed near
the powerhouse.
Powerhouse
The powerhouse will consist of an
approximately 30-foot by 35-foot by 16foot high metal building or similar
structure. The building will house two
262-kW Pelton turbines, a 480 volt, 3
phase synchronous generator, and
switchgear for each turbine.
Tailrace
A tailrace structure and culvert or
constructed stream bed will convey the
project flows from the powerhouse to
the nearby pond, known in Old Harbor
as Swimming Pond. The tailrace will
continue on from Swimming Pond,
conveying project flows for a total of
approximately 2,300 feet.
Access Road and Trail
An approximately 11,500-foot-long by
10-foot-wide intake access trail will be
constructed between the intake and the
powerhouse and an approximately
5,720-foot-long by 24-foot-wide access
