k. Project Description: The Wallace
Dam Project consists of: (1) A 2,395foot-long, 120-foot-high dam, consisting
of (i) a 347-foot-long west earth
embankment, (ii) a 300-foot-long west
concrete non-overflow section, (iii) a
266-foot-long concrete spillway with
five Tainter gates, each 48 feet high by
42 feet wide with a discharge capacity
of 35,000 cubic feet per second (cfs), (iv)
a 531.4-foot-long powerhouse intake
section, protected by trashracks having
a clear bar spacing of 9.5 to 10.5 inches
and leading to six penstocks with a
maximum diameter of 25.5 feet, (v) a
226-foot-long east concrete nonoverflow section, (vi) a 725-foot-long
east earth embankment, and (vii) two
saddle dikes, located east of the dam,
totaling about 900 feet in length; (2) an
18,188-acre reservoir (Lake Oconee) at
an elevation of 435.0 feet Plant Datum
(where Plant Datum equals mean sea
level (NAVD88) minus 0.20 feet); (3) a
powerhouse integral with the dam that
contains six turbine/generator units
(two conventional generating units and
four reversible pump units, with a total
installed capacity of 321.3 megawatts;
(4) a 20,000-foot-long tailrace that flows
into Lake Sinclair, which serves as the
lower reservoir for the Wallace Dam
Project; (5) transmission facilities that
consist of (i) 13.8-kilovolt (kV) generator
leads, (ii) two 13.8/230-kV step-up
transformers, (iii) a 230-kV substation,
and (iv) a 15.67-mile-long transmission
line that extends from Wallace Dam
west to a switching station near
Eatonton, Georgia; and (6) appurtenant
facilities.
The Wallace Dam Project is a pumped
storage project, generating 390,083
megawatt-hours of electricity annually.
Water for generation at Wallace Dam
comes from inflow, plus storage in Lake
Oconee. The project generates during
peak power demand hours to meet the
electrical system demand. Water that is
not used for generation at the
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
28221
downstream Sinclair Project (FERC No.
1951), remains in Lake Sinclair for a few
hours before being pumped back into
Lake Oconee. Pumpback operation
occurs at night, when electrical system
demand is low (off-peak hours). For
normal day-to-day operation, Lake
Oconee fluctuates between elevations
435.0 and 433.5 feet Plant Datum,
resulting in an average daily fluctuation
of 1.5 feet. The Wallace Dam Project
discharges directly into Lake Sinclair,
with no intervening riverine or
bypassed reach. Generation typically is
the highest during the summer months,
where Wallace Dam generates for about
7 to 8 hours during the afternoon peak
demand period. During the fall and
winter months, generation typically last
5 to 6 hours.
During drought periods, the Wallace
Dam Project supports the minimum
flow requirements of the downstream
Sinclair Project. When the Sinclair
Project’s calculated inflow drops below
its minimum flow requirement of 250
cfs, water is released from Lake Oconee
to maintain Lake Sinclair at the
minimum level necessary for safe
pumpback operation at Wallace Dam,
which is 338.2 feet Plant Datum.
