This application is not ready for environmental analysis at this time. k. Project Description: The Mongaup Falls Project includes the Mongaup Falls Development and the Black Brook Development. The Black Brook Development has been permanently out of service since 1984, when portions of the penstock, stoplogs, and flashboards were removed. The Mongaup Fall Development consists of: (1) A reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,782 acre-feet and a surface area of 133 acres; (2) a 155-footlong by 40-foot-high, ungated, concrete gravity spillway with 4-foot, 10-inchhigh flashboards; (2) an 83-foot-long, by 25-foot, 4-inch-high earth dam section with a concrete core wall along the right abutment; (3) a 125-foot-long, 127-foothigh concrete retaining wall along the left abutment; (4) a 11-foot-high, 22-footsquare intake and gatehouse; (5) a 250foot-long by 4.5-foot-high earthen closure dike; (6) a 6,650-foot-long bypassed reach; (7) a 2,650-foot-long, 8foot-diameter wood-stave penstock; (8) a 26-foot-diameter, 106-foot-high steel surge tank; (9) a 9-foot-diameter steel manifold branching into four 5-footdiameter steel penstocks; (10) a 14-footwide by 32-foot-high inclined trashracks with 1.7-inch bar clear spacing; (11) a 90-foot-long by 25-foot, 2-inch-wide by 33-foot-high reinforced concrete powerhouse containing four 1-megawatt vertical-axis turbines; and (12) a 100foot-long, 2.3-kilovolt underground transmission line. The project generates an average of 10,860 megawatt-hours annually. Eagle Creek proposes to continue to operate the project in a peaking mode. The Black Brook Development consists of a 70-foot-long dam with a 34foot-long concrete spillway section and 10-foot-long stoplog section. The stoplog section consists of a 2-foot-wide concrete pier that divides the 8-footlong stoplog section from the spillway. The concrete spillway is approximately 10-foot-high from the base to the crest and is keyed into bedrock with a 3-foot by 3-foot keyway. Prior to removal of the penstock, pond control was accomplished with an 8-foot-wide stoplog section and 34-foot-wide flashboard section, each erected to a height of 5 feet above the dam crest. The failure of the penstock in 1984, resulted in the removal of the 8-foot-wide, 5-foothigh stoplog section on the right side of the dam and the 5-foot-high flashboards. Currently, the Black Brook Development is a run-of-river, uncontrolled spillway with a crest elevation of 943 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and a dam/spillway toe elevation of approximately 930–933 feet NGVD29 (including the 3-foot by 3-foot keyway). l.

    The Mongaup Fall Development consists of: (1) A reservoir with a 
gross storage capacity of 1,782 acre-feet and a surface area of 133 
acres; (2) a 155-foot-long by 40-foot-high, ungated, concrete gravity

25-foot, 4-inch-high earth dam section with a concrete core wall along 
the right abutment; (3) a 125-foot-long, 127-foot-high concrete 
retaining wall along the left abutment; (4) a 11-foot-high, 22-foot-
square intake and gatehouse; (5) a 250-foot-long by 4.5-foot-high 
earthen closure dike; (6) a 6,650-foot-long bypassed reach; (7) a 
2,650-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter wood-stave penstock; (8) a 26-foot-
diameter, 106-foot-high steel surge tank; (9) a 9-foot-diameter steel

underground transmission line. The project generates an average of 
10,860 megawatt-hours annually. Eagle Creek proposes to continue to 
operate the project in a peaking mode.
    The Black Brook Development consists of a 70-foot-long dam with a 
34-foot-long concrete spillway section and 10-foot-long stoplog 
section. The stoplog section consists of a 2-foot-wide concrete pier 
that divides the 8-foot-long stoplog section from the spillway. The 
concrete spillway is approximately 10-foot-high from the base to the 
crest and is keyed into bedrock with a 3-foot by 3-foot keyway. Prior 
to removal of the penstock, pond control was accomplished with an 
8[hyphen]foot[hyphen]wide stoplog section and 
34[hyphen]foot[hyphen]wide flashboard section, each erected to a height

resulted in the removal of the 8-foot-wide, 5-foot-high stoplog section 
on the right side of the dam and the 5-foot-high flashboards. 
Currently, the Black Brook Development is a run-of-river, uncontrolled 
spillway with a crest elevation of 943 feet National Geodetic Vertical 
Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and a dam/spillway toe elevation of 
approximately 930-933 feet NGVD29 (including the 3-foot by 3-foot
