section) and 534 feet long, 32 feet high
(western section), and a smaller 16-foothigh, 530-foot-long dam located
immediately downstream of the main
western dam; (2) an impoundment with
a surface area of 2,108 acres and a gross
storage capacity of 50,000 acre-feet at an
elevation of 184 feet Barge Canal Datum
(BCD) (1-foot-high flashboards
seasonally installed during the
navigation season add 2,000 acre-feet of
storage); (3) a regulating structure
consisting of an 8-foot-wide sluiceway
and a 30-foot-wide Tainter gate located
at the main western dam; (4) a 73-footwide, 180-foot-long brick and concrete
powerhouse containing two Francis
turbine-generator units rated at 2.8
megawatts (MW) each and two vertical
Kaplan turbine-generator units rated at
3.0 MW each; (5) navigation lock E–6 of
the Erie Canal and Guard Gates 1 and 2
of the Waterford Flight; (6) a
switchyard; (7) generator leads and
transformer banks; and (8) appurtenant
facilities.
The Crescent Project is operated in a
run-of-river mode such that outflow
from the project approximates inflow,
and the impoundment is maintained
within 6 inches of the dam crest (or top
of the flashboards, when installed). A
year-round, continuous minimum flow
of 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) is
provided at the project. During the
navigation season (typically mid-May
through mid-October), the 100-cfs
minimum flow is provided as part of a
fish passage flow (250 cfs) that is
released through a notch (absence of
flashboards) in the eastern dam; during
the remainder of the year (nonnavigation season), the minimum flow
is typically provided as part of
generation flows. An acoustic deterrent
system is seasonally deployed upstream
of the project, from May through
October, to guide blueback herring that
are migrating downstream towards nonturbine routes of passage (notches in the
flashboards). Average annual generation
at the Crescent Project is 58,250 MWhours. NYPA is not proposing any new
project facilities or changes to existing
facilities and the operation of the project
at this time.

To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is May 17, 2024. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.
Comments
Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before May 17, 2024. The filing of a comment alone will not serve
to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party, you
must intervene in the proceeding.
