The project would also involve constructing the following new facilities: (1) a 8,498-footlong roller-compacted concrete waterretaining structure that would create a 114-acre upper reservoir which would be lined to reduce leakage and would be surrounded by a 10-foot-high chain and rail security fence; (2) a 200-foot-long concrete ogee emergency spillway incorporated into the upper reservoir capable of directing emergency spill flows down a stepped spillway into a stilling basin and then down a natural gulley and into the Bureau of Reclamation’s Kortes Reservoir; (3) a water conveyance tunnel system connecting the new upper reservoir with Seminoe Reservoir that consists of the following structures: (a) a 2,756-footlong D-shaped concrete-lined belowground headrace tunnel; (b) a 615foot-long steel aboveground conduit section across a gully that is supported by concrete piers; (c) a 30-foot-diameter, 1,225-foot-long concrete-lined belowground vertical shaft; (d) a 30foot-diameter, 123-foot-long concretelined belowground high pressure tunnel connected to a manifold and three separate 17-foot-diameter concrete and steel-lined belowground penstocks with lengths of 330 feet, 247 feet, and 165 feet; (e) three concrete and steel-lined 17.5-foot-diameter belowground draft tube extensions with lengths of 140 feet, 103 feet, and 85 feet connected to a manifold; (f) a 36-foot-diameter, 232foot-long belowground surge chamber; and (g) a 31-foot-diameter, 4,070-footlong belowground tailrace tunnel; (4) a 460-foot-long, 80-foot-wide, 142-foothigh belowground powerhouse containing three 324-megawatt Francis pump-turbines and three generatormotors; (5) three busbar galleries approximately 170-feet-long leading to a 413-foot-long, 71-foot-wide, 113-foothigh belowground transformer cavern containing three-phase step-up transformers and a switchgear switchyard; (6) two 500-kilovolt circuits connecting from the switchgear through a 765-foot-long belowground tunnel to a vertical cable shaft that emerges aboveground; (7) two separate 30-milelong, 500-kilovolt overhead transmission lines that connect to the grid at the existing Aeolus substation; (8) a new 40-foot-wide bridge crossing over the Seminoe Dam tailrace on the North Platte River that connects Morgan Creek Road on the left side of the river to a main access tunnel portal on the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 Feb 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 right side of the river to provide access to the powerhouse; (9) two other secondary tunnels for accessing the lower reservoir intake and surge shaft; and (10) appurtenant facilities. Additionally, two existing Western Area Power Administration transmission lines that currently cross the new upper reservoir site would be relocated. The water used to initially fill the new upper reservoir and provide makeup water would come from Seminoe Reservoir. The initial volume of water necessary to fill the upper reservoir is estimated to be 13,300 acre-feet and would be filled over a two- to four-week period. It is estimated that the project would need approximately 272 acre-feet of water each year to replenish water lost through evaporation and seepage. Once the upper reservoir is filled, approximately 10,800 acre-feet could be cycled between the upper reservoir and Seminoe Reservoir each day. The project is designed to generate electricity on demand for up to 9.7 hours each day at the maximum generating capacity. The estimated annual generation is 2,916 gigawatthours per year. p.

This information helps states and the public track progress in addressing water pollution. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to identify and rank waters that cannot meet water quality standards (WQS) following the implementation of technology-based controls. Under Section 303(d), states are also required to establish total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for listed waters not meeting standards because of pollutant discharges. In developing the Section 303(d) lists, states are required to consider various sources of water quality related data and information, including the Section 305(b) state water quality reports. Section 106(e) requires that states annually update monitoring data and use it in their Section 305(b) report. Section 314(a) requires states to report on the condition of their publicly owned lakes within the Section 305(b) report. During the period covered by this ICR renewal, respondents will: complete their 2024 Section 305(b) reports and 2024 Section 303(d) lists; complete their 2026 Section 305(b) reports and 2026 Section 303(d) lists; transmit annual electronic updates of ambient monitoring data via the Water Quality Exchange; and continue to develop TMDLs according to their established schedules. EPA will prepare biennial updates on assessed and impaired waters for Congress and the public for the 2024 reporting cycle and for the 2026 cycle, and EPA will review 303(d) list and TMDL submissions from respondents. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States, Territories and Tribes with Clean Water Act (CWA) responsibilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory: Integrated Water Quality Inventory Reports (Clean Water Act Sections 305(b), 303(d), 314(a), and 106(e)). Estimated number of respondents: 59 (total). Frequency of response: Biennial. Total estimated burden: 3,696,243 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $243,597,191 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
