18.5-foot-diameter concrete-lined, inclined headrace tunnel leading to; 
(4) a 1,020 foot-long, 18.5-foot-diameter high pressure, steel-lined 
vertical shaft connecting to; (5) three 100-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter 
steel penstocks; (6) a 400-foot-long by 75-foot-wide and 160-foot-high 
underground powerhouse containing three 167-megawatt reversible pump-
turbines; (7) a 150-foot-long by 75-foot-wide and 44-foot-high 
underground transformer chamber; (8) a 3,200-foot-long, 21.6-foot-
diameter concrete-lined tailrace conduit; (9) a lower reservoir created 
within excavated underground mine space in Mason County, Kentucky, with 
a surface area of 120 acres and a storage capacity of 5,556 acre-feet; 
and (10) a new 2.8-mile-long, 230 kilovolt (kv) transmission line, 
which would run underground from the transformer chamber through the 
existing mine for 1.2 miles, continue under the Ohio River through a 
0.2-mile-long, 18-foot-diameter tunnel, and then run overhead for 1.4 
miles to the point of interconnection with a 345-kV bus at the former 
Stuart Generating Station in Adams County, Ohio. The proposed project 
would have an estimated annual generation of 876,000 megawatt-hours.
