meeting or would like to further discuss
ideas for consent-based siting, please
propose an opportunity for us to speak
with you. The Department will do its
best to accommodate requests and help
arrange additional opportunities to
engage. To learn more about nuclear
energy, nuclear waste, and ongoing
technical work please see energy.gov/

j. This application is not ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
k. The Project Description: The
Williams Project has a total installed
capacity of 13-megawatts (MW). The
project’s average annual generation is
96,731 megawatt-hours. The power
generated by the project is sold on the
open market into the regional grid.
The existing project consists of: (a) A
894.7-foot-long, 45.0-foot-high dam that
includes: (i) A 202-foot-long, 15-foothigh east earth embankment section
with a concrete core wall; (ii) a 244-footlong, 32-foot-high stone masonry and
concrete spillway section at the west
end of the east earth embankment
section with six 32.5-foot-wide, 20.5foot-high Tainter gates; (iii) a 71.3-footlong, 19.5-foot-high stone masonry and
concrete abutment section at the west
end of the spillway section; (iv) a 203.3foot-long, 26.5-foot-high stone masonry
and concrete stanchion bay section at
the west end of the abutment section
with two 65.9-foot-wide, 17.5-foot-high
and one 46.8-foot-wide, 17.5-foot-high
stanchion bays; (v) a 27-foot-long
bulkhead section at the west end of the
stanchion bay section with a 20.5-footwide, 7.0-foot-high surface weir gate
and a 6.0-foot-wide, 12.3-foot-high
Tainter gate at the upstream end of a
steel-lined sluiceway; (vi) a 95.5-footwide intake and powerhouse section at
the west end of the bulkhead section
that varies in height from 45.5 feet to
49.4 feet and includes four headgates
and two double-bay trashracks with 3.5inch clear-bar spacing; and (vii) a 51.6foot-long, 10.5-foot-high concrete cut-off
wall at the west end of the intake and
powerhouse section; (b) a 400-acre
impoundment with a gross storage
volume of 4,575 acre-feet and a useable
storage volume of 2,065 acre-feet at a
normal maximum elevation of 320 feet
National Geodetic Vertical Datum; (c) a
40.5-foot-wide, 105.5-foot-long concrete
powerhouse that is integral with the
dam and contains two turbine-generator
units rated at 6 and 7 MW; (d) a 6,000foot-long excavated tailrace that varies
from 150 to 175 feet wide; (e) a 200-footlong generator lead and a 310-foot-long
generator lead that connect the turbinegenerator units to the regional grid; and
(f) appurtenant facilities.
The Williams Project operates in a
store-and-release mode where the
impoundment level is fluctuated up to
six feet daily to regulate downstream
flow and meet peak demands for
hydroelectric generation. The existing
license requires an instantaneous
minimum flow of 1,360 cubic feet per
second, or inflow (whichever is less), in
the tailrace. White Pine Hydro proposes
to install an upstream eel passage
facility, improve a canoe portage, and
improve angler access. White Pine
Hydro also proposes to remove 375.5
acres of land and water from the
existing project boundary because it
does not serve a project purpose.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s Web site at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
