This application has been accepted and is now ready for environmental analysis. l. The existing Beaver Falls Project consists of two developments, Silvis and Beaver Falls. Beaver Falls Creek first flows into a 300-acre project reservoir known as Upper Silvis Lake which has approximately 38,000 acrefeet of gross storage capacity and 22,000 acre-feet of usable capacity and is impounded by Upper Silvis Lake Dam, a 60-foot-high, 135-foot-long, 22-footwide concrete-face, rock-filled dam with a crest elevation of 1,164 feet msl.1 Water passes downstream of Upper Silvis Lake and dam via two primary methods: (1) via spill over a weir into an open channel that discharges to Lower Silvis Lake; or (2) via discharges through the Silvis Powerhouse into Lower Silvis Lake. Both the spillway weir and the intake to the power tunnel leading to Silvis powerhouse are located approximately 450 feet south and east of the dam. The Upper Silvis spillway consists of an ungated concreteencapsulated composite rockfill weir with a 54-foot-long and 16-foot high crest at an elevation of 1,154 feet that passes water into an 800-foot-long, 20foot-wide, 8-foot-deep excavated rock spillway channel leading from Upper Silvis Lake to Lower Silvis Lake. The Upper Silvis intake consists of a 3-foot by 4-foot manually operated sluice gate 1 All elevations are in mean sea level (msl). The conversion to North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) at the project is msl minus 8.07 feet. PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 approximately 200 feet downstream of the power tunnel entrance which is at an invert elevation of 1,050 msl. Water entering the intake passes through trash racks containing two rack bars 10-inches off center and spaced 30 feet apart and enters the 980-foot-long underground power tunnel connecting to a 375-footlong, 36-inch-diameter steel penstock that conveys water to a 30 feet by 40 feet by 25-feet-high Silvis powerhouse. The Silvis powerhouse contains a single Francis-type turbine with a rated capacity of 2.1 megawatts. Water exiting the Silvis powerhouse enters a 150-footlong trapezoidal shaped channel tailrace that discharges into Lower Silvis Lake. There is also a penstock bypass gate valve that can be used to bypass the powerhouse and discharge water from the penstock into the spillway channel that runs parallel to the penstock and a powerhouse bypass valve that allows water entering the powerhouse to bypass the turbine and discharge directly into Lower Silvis Lake. Power from the Silvis powerhouse is transmitted through a 2,900-foot-long, 5kilovolt submarine cable beneath Lower Silvis Lake which connects to a 2,500 Kilovolt-ampere (kVA), 34.5–4.16 kV transformer located near Lower Silvis Lake Dam. From the transformer, power is transmitted via a 7,000-foot-long, 34.5- kilovolt aerial transmission line to the Beaver Falls substation/switchyard. Water passing downstream of Upper Silvis Lake enters a 67.5-acre project reservoir known as Lower Silvis Lake which begins the Beaver Falls development portion of the project. Lower Silvis Lake has a gross storage capacity of approximately 8,052 acrefeet and usable storage capacity of 1,600 acre-feet and is impounded by Lower Silvis Dam which is a 32-foot-high, 140foot-long concrete-face, rock-filled dam with a crest elevation of 835 feet. Water either spills over the Lower Silvis Dam and spillway into Beaver Falls Creek or enters the Lower Silvis intake structure and power tunnel system. A spillway composed of a reinforced concrete ungated control weir approximately 3foot-high, 140-foot-long and 4-foot-wide with a crest elevation of 827 feet extends from the left abutment of Lower Silvis Lake Dam and discharges water into Beaver Falls Creek via a 50-footwide spillway discharge channel. Beaver Falls Creek then flows for approximately 0.66-miles to a 3-foothigh, 40-foot-long concrete Beaver Falls Creek Diversion Dam. At this point, water can either enter an intake leading to a penstock that supplies Unit 1 in the Beaver Falls powerhouse, or pass over the diversion dam spillway and flow an E:\FR\FM\16OCN1.SGM 16OCN1
