The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this time. n. The existing Fellows Dam Project consists of the following: (1) a 200-footlong, 10-foot-high concrete dam (Fellows Dam) with a crest elevation of 435 feet mean sea level (msl); (2) an impoundment with a surface area of 21 acres and a storage capacity of 106 acrefeet at an elevation of 435 feet msl; (3) an intake structure equipped with an inclined trashrack with 1.5-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a 4-foot by 8-foot, 30foot-long reinforced concrete open flume; (5) a powerhouse with a Francis turbine-generator unit with an authorized installed capacity of 150 kilowatts; (6) a 0.60 kilovolt (kV) generator lead; (7) a 0.60/4.16-kV transformer; (8) a 0.6-kV, 100-foot-long transmission line; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The current license requires River Street to operate the project in a run-ofriver mode and to release a minimum flow of 6 cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow, whichever is less, over the spillway for the protection of fish and wildlife resources in the Black River. The project has an average annual generation of 500 megawatt-hours. The current license also requires River Street to provide downstream fish passage at the project from April 1 to June 15. River Street operates a downstream fish passage facility consisting of a 36-inch-wide weir installed in the spillway adjacent to the existing trashrack, a fish collection box, and an 18-inch diameter steel sluice pipe that discharges to a natural plunge pool at the toe of the dam. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:21 Jul 16, 2024 Jkt 262001 River Street proposes to continue operating the project in a run-of-river mode. River Street also proposes to: (1) increase the current year-round minimum flow release over the spillway from 0.5 inch (6 cfs) to 1 inch; (2) operate the existing downstream fish passage facility in the fall; and (3) develop a flow management, monitoring, and maintenance plan. o.
