Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29); (7) a 286acre impoundment (upper reservoir)
with a useable storage volume of 12,318
acre-feet between elevations 938.0 feet
and 1,000.5 feet NGVD 29; (8) a 2,110acre impoundment (lower reservoir or
Turners Falls impoundment); (9) a
1,890-foot-long, 130-foot-wide intake

pressure shaft; (11) an 853-foot-long, 31foot-diameter penstock; (12) two 22foot-diameter, 100- to 150-foot-long
penstocks; (13) four 340-foot-long, 9.5to 14-foot-diameter penstocks; (14) a
328-foot-long, 70-foot-wide powerhouse
that contains four reversible pump
turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 1,166.8 megawatts
(MW); (15) four 25-foot-long, 11-footdiameter draft tubes that transition to a
20-foot-long, 17-foot-diameter draft
tube; (16) a 5,136-foot-long, 33-footwide, 31-foot-high horseshoe-shaped
tailrace tunnel; (17) 35-foot-long, 40foot-high trapezoid-shaped stoplogs
with 74.3- to 99.5-foot-wide, 48-foothigh trashracks with 6-inch clear-bar

The Northfield Mountain Pumped
Storage Project generally operates in
pumping mode when electricity
demand is low and generating mode
when electricity demand is high. In the
summer and winter, the project
generally operates in a peaking mode in
the morning and late afternoon. In the
spring and fall, the project may operate
in a peaking mode one or two times a
day depending on electricity demand.
The existing license requires
maintaining the upper reservoir
between elevations 938.0 feet and
1,000.5 feet NGVD 29 (i.e., a maximum
reservoir drawdown of 62.5 feet).
Average annual generation at the
Northfield Mountain Project from 2011–
2019 was 889,845 MW-hours, and
average annual energy consumption for
pumping from 2011 to 2019 was
1,189,640 MW-hours.
Northfield proposes three changes to
the current project boundary: (1) remove
0.2 acre of land associated with
residential property; (2) remove 8.1
acres of land referred to as ‘‘Fuller
Farm’’ that include residential and
agricultural structures; and (3) add
135.5 acres of land that include
recreation trails.

Northfield proposes to increase the
maximum water surface elevation of the
upper reservoir to 1,004.5 feet NGVD 29
and decrease the minimum water
surface elevation of the upper reservoir
to 920.0 feet NGVD 29 (i.e., a maximum
reservoir drawdown of 84.5 feet) yearround. Northfield proposes to install a
barrier net in the lower impoundment to
prevent fish entrainment. Northfield
also proposes to periodically dredge the
upper reservoir and to construct new
recreation access trails. The specific
proposed changes are described in the
amended application and the settlement
agreements filed on March 31, 2023 and
June 12, 2023.
