Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 183 / Friday, September 20, 2024 / Notices generator, for a total installed capacity of 7.75 MW; (c) an overflow section with: (i) a 42-foot-long and 50.5-footlong spillway, each with a 3-foot-high inflatable rubber crest gate with a maximum crest elevation of 430.62 feet North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88); and (ii) a 97.4-foot-long and 61-foot-long spillway, each with 3-foothigh flashboards that have a crest elevation of 430.62 feet NAVD 88; and (d) a 24.7-foot-long north non-overflow section with a 3-foot-long sluice gate. The dam creates an impoundment that has a surface area of 20 acres at 430.62 feet NAVD 88. The south shoreline of the impoundment also includes a 450foot-long retaining/flood wall between the South Channel Dam and Beebee Island Dam. From the impoundment, water flows through the powerhouse to a 15-footlong tailrace. The South Channel Dam creates an approximately 1,000-footlong bypassed reach of the Black River. Minimum flows are provided to the bypassed reach through a gated, 2-footdiameter pipe in the South Channel Dam. The project includes a downstream fish passage facility that consists of: (1) the sluice gate adjacent to the intake structure; and (2) an 8-foot-wide sluiceway that discharges immediately downstream of the powerhouse. The current license requires the licensee to provide a boat take-out site upstream of the dam and directional signage to downstream boat put-in locations. The generators are connected to the regional electric grid by a 300-foot-long, 4.8-kilovolt underground generator lead line. The minimum and maximum hydraulic capacities of the powerhouse are 200 and 3,600 cubic feet per second (cfs), respectively. The average annual energy production of the project from 2010 through 2020, was 43,768 megawatt-hours. Article 401 of the current license requires Erie to operate the project in a run-of-river mode, such that project outflow approximates inflow to the impoundment at any point in time and the surface elevation of the impoundment is maintained at no lower than 0.5 foot below either (1) the spillway crest elevation or (2) the crest of the flashboards when in place. Article 404 requires a minimum flow of 14 cfs to the bypassed reach and Article 403 requires a minimum flow of 1,000 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, downstream of the project. Article 402 requires Erie to install flashboards by May 1, or as soon thereafter as safely possible, and to remove the flashboards in the fall prior to ice conditions. Article 410 requires VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:44 Sep 19, 2024 Jkt 262001 Erie to install trashrack overlays with 1inch clear bar spacing at the top half portion of the trashracks from May 1 through October 1. Additionally, Article 411 requires Erie to release 37 cfs through the downstream fish passage facility from April 1 through November 30. The current license also requires the implementation of a Flow Monitoring Plan to ensure compliance with the project flow requirements and a Record Keeping Plan to maintain records of the impoundment elevations and discharges from the project, in compliance with Articles 408 and 409. Article 414 requires 0.5-inch veiling flows over the 97.4-foot-long spillway from May 1 to October 31. Article 416 requires the implementation of a Cultural Resources Management Plan to protect historic properties. Erie proposes to continue operating the project as required under the current license. In addition, Erie proposes to develop a new minimum flow and fish conveyance plan, streamflow and headpond monitoring plan, recreation plan, and historic properties management plan. k.
