l. The Lake Lynn Project consists of:
(1) a 13 mile-long, 1,729-acre
impoundment (Cheat Lake; originally
named Lake Lynn) with a maximum
storage capacity of 72,300 acre-feet at a
normal water surface elevation of 870
feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of
1929 (NGVD 29) and a normal minimum
storage capacity of 51,100 acre-feet at
857 feet NGVD 29; (2) a 1,000-foot-long,
125-foot-high, concrete gravity dam
with a 624-foot-long spillway section
controlled by 26, 21-foot-wide by 17foot-high, Tainter gates; (3) a concrete
intake structure equipped with a log
boom and eight trash racks with 4-inch
clear bar spacing; (4) eight 12-foot-wide
by 18-foot-deep gated reinforced
concrete penstocks; (5) a 160-foot-long
by 94.5-foot-wide powerhouse
containing four Francis generating units
with a combined capacity of 51.2
megawatts; and (6) two 800-foot-long
transmission lines that run from the
powerhouse to a substation within the
project boundary.
The Lake Lynn Project is currently
operated as a peaking facility with
storage. Peaking hours and operations
are dictated by market value. Seasonal
peaking during winter typically occurs
in the morning for 5 hours and in the
afternoon for 5 hours to meet demand.
During the summer, peaking occurs
between 6:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m. in the
evening. The maximum drawdown rate
to meet peak demand is one-half a foot/
hour. Typical drawdown is 0.2–0.4 feet/
day, which can vary depending on
environmental and economic
considerations. The current license
requires Lake Lynn Generation to
maintain Cheat Lake between 868 feet
and 870 feet NGVD 29 from May 1
through October 31, 857 feet and 870
feet NGVD 29 from November 1 through
March 31, and 863 feet and 870 feet
NGVD 29 from April 1 through April 30
each year. The current license also
requires Lake Lynn Generation to
release a downstream minimum flow of
212 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs), or
inflow, from the dam when not
generating, with an absolute minimum
flow of 100 cfs regardless of inflow,
when not generating. The project
generates about 144,741 megawatt-hours
annually.

improvements to the market, and to
consider related proposals to address
resource adequacy. The forum will
include three panels that will explore
whether the PJM capacity market is
achieving its objective of ensuring
resource adequacy at just and
reasonable rates, discuss potential
market design reforms that may be
needed to achieve this objective, and
discuss state Commissioners’ and state

l. The Lake Lynn Project consists of: (1) a 13 mile-long, 1,729-
acre impoundment (Cheat Lake; originally named Lake Lynn) with a
maximum storage capacity of 72,300 acre-feet at a normal water surface
elevation of 870 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD
29) and a normal minimum storage capacity of 51,100 acre-feet at 857
feet NGVD 29; (2) a 1,000-foot-long, 125-foot-high, concrete gravity
dam with a 624-foot-long spillway section controlled by 26, 21-foot-
wide by 17-foot-high, Tainter gates; (3) a concrete intake structure
equipped with a log boom and eight trash racks with 4-inch clear bar
spacing; (4) eight 12-foot-wide by 18-foot-deep gated reinforced
concrete penstocks; (5) a 160-foot-long by 94.5-foot-wide powerhouse
containing four Francis generating units with a combined capacity of
51.2 megawatts; and (6) two 800-foot-long transmission lines that run
from the powerhouse to a substation within the project boundary.
The Lake Lynn Project is currently operated as a peaking facility
with storage. Peaking hours and operations are dictated by market
value. Seasonal peaking during winter typically occurs in the morning
for 5 hours and in the afternoon for 5 hours to meet demand. During the
summer, peaking occurs between 6:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. in the evening. The
maximum drawdown rate to meet peak demand is one-half a foot/hour.
Typical drawdown is 0.2-0.4 feet/day, which can vary depending on
environmental and economic considerations. The current license requires
Lake Lynn Generation to maintain Cheat Lake between 868 feet and 870
feet NGVD 29 from May 1 through October 31, 857 feet and 870 feet NGVD
29 from November 1 through March 31, and 863 feet and 870 feet NGVD 29
from April 1 through April 30 each year. The current license also
requires Lake Lynn Generation to release a downstream minimum flow of
212 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs), or inflow, from the dam when not
generating, with an absolute minimum flow of 100 cfs regardless of
inflow, when not generating. The project generates about 144,741
megawatt-hours annually.
Lake Lynn Generation proposes to continue operating the project as
a peaking facility with storage, and does not propose any new
development at the project.
