steel; (6) a 220-foot-long, 60-foot-wide, 120-foot-high powerhouse 
housed in an underground cavern and accessed via a 2,600-foot-long, 18-
foot-diameter access tunnel, housing two variable-speed reversible 
pump/turbine-motor/generator units rated for 150 megawatts each at 
1,370 feet maximum gross head; (7) a 2,400-foot-long, 17.5-foot-
diameter tailrace tunnel lined with concrete; (8) a 37-acre lower 
reservoir having a total storage capacity 1,800 acre-feet at a normal
