delivering water to the project facilities
from three sources: The Uintah River,
Big Springs Creek, and Pole Creek. The
existing project facilities include: (1)
The 8-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep, 1,100-footlong earthen Big Springs canal that
conveys flow from Big Springs Creek;
(2) a stop-log diversion structure on the
Big Springs canal that conveys flow to
a 916-foot-long, 28-inch diameter, steel
pipeline that connects to the point of
diversion on the Uintah River; (3) an 80foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 3-foot-high
overflow-type concrete diversion
structure with a 10-foot-high, 6.5-footwide steel slide gate on the Uintah
River; (4) a concrete structure with
manual slide gates for dewatering the
main supply canal and returning water
to the Uintah River immediately
downstream of the Uintah diversion; (5)
an emergency slide gate about midway
along the main supply canal; (6) a 16foot-wide, 8-foot-deep, 25,614-foot-long,
clay-lined main supply canal which
conveys water from Big Springs Creek
and the Uintah River; (7) a stop-log
diversion structure with non-functional

Pole Creek; (8) a 6-foot-wide, 4-footdeep, 6,200-foot-long Pole Creek canal
that collects water from the Pole Creek
diversion; (9) an 86-inch-wide, 80-inchlong, 43-inch-high transition bay and a
140-foot-long, 14-inch diameter steel
penstock collects water from the Pole
Creek supply canal; (10) a 23-foot by 13foot concrete forebay structure

termination of the main supply canal
and the Pole Creek penstock, and an
overflow channel; (11) a single 5,238foot-long, 36-inch diameter

expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 2808
is issued to the licensee for a period
effective February 1, 2019 through
January 31, 2020, or until the issuance
of a new license for the project or other

order or notice by the Commission,
unless the Commission orders
otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section

that the licensee, KEI (Maine) Power
Management (III) LLC., is authorized to
continue operation of the Barker’s Mill
Hydroelectric Project until such time as
