Description of Project Facilities: The existing Porterdale Dam project consists of: (1) A granite masonry dam, about 12-feet high and 300 feet in length; (2) a headwater storage lake with a surface area of about 5 acres; (3) intake works, approximately 330-foot-long canal that runs through the lower level of the Porterdale Mill building, and a 150-foot-long penstock; (4) a brick wall powerhouse containing two generating units with a total capacity of 1,500 kW; and (5) appurtenant facilities. l. Description of Proceeding: The Porterdale Mill building was converted into loft apartments in 2006. A failure in the granite wall separating the canal from the apartment units on the lower level of the Porterdale Mill building could result in flooding causing significant property damage and potential danger to human life. Due to this potential flooding the exemptee proposes to decommission the project by shutting off and securing the project’s gated intake at the beginning of the canal with a concrete cap, whereby water will no longer flow through the canal to the powerhouse. In addition, the generating equipment located in the powerhouse will be disconnected and all other project works secured, but otherwise left in place. The exemptee does not propose to remove or alter the dam in any way as part of the surrender process. Water will continue to flow over the dam as usual. m.
