City of Kaukauna, Wisconsin; Notice of
Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the
application for a new license for the
Kaukauna Hydro Project, located on the
Lower Fox River, in the City of
Kaukauna, Outagamie County,
Wisconsin, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
project.
The EA contains staff’s analysis of the
potential environmental impacts of the
project and concludes that licensing the
project, with appropriate environmental
protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that
would significantly affect the quality of
the human environment.
A copy of the EA is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s website at https://
www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

dam. Total storage in the 1,827-acre reservoir is approximately 105,605
acre-feet at the normal maximum water surface elevation of
approximately 5,157 feet. From Bucks Lake, the project's water flow is
released immediately downstream into Lower Bucks Lake.
Three Lakes Dam and Reservoir, and Milk Ranch Conduit (Bucks Creek
Development)
The Three Lakes dam consists of a rock-fill dam with a structural
height of 30 feet and a length of 584 feet. Three Lakes Dam impounds
the flow of Milk Ranch Creek, forming Upper Lake, Middle Lake, and
Lower Lake, collectively known as Three Lakes Reservoir. These water
bodies are hydraulically linked and are approximately 0.75 mile from
the dam. Total storage in the 40-acre reservoir is approximately 605
acre-feet at the normal maximum water surface elevation of
approximately 6,078 feet.
Milk Ranch Conduit conveys the project's water flow from Three
Lakes Reservoir and feeder diversions to Lower Bucks Lake. The maximum
capacity of the approximately 8-mile-long conduit is about 70 cubic
foot per second (cfs). It collects additional flow from several
diversions located on unnamed tributaries.
Lower Bucks Lake Dam and Reservoir (Bucks Creek Development)
The Lower Bucks Lake Dam consists of a concrete arch dam with a
structural height of 99 feet and a length of 500 feet. Lower Bucks
Creek Dam impounds Lower Bucks Lake, which extends approximately 1.1
miles from the dam. Total storage in the 136-acre reservoir is
approximately 5,843 acre-feet at the normal maximum water surface
elevation of approximately 5,022 feet. Water is conveyed from Lower
Bucks Lake to the Grizzly Powerhouse by the Grizzly Powerhouse Tunnel.
Grizzly Powerhouse Tunnel (Grizzly Development)
