l. The project facilities consist of: (1)
a 450-foot-long and 13-foot-high dam,
constructed of rock-filled timber cribs
encased in concrete, with a 350-footlong spillway and an average dam crest
elevation of 698.63 feet; 2 (2) an
approximately 25-acre reservoir with a
gross storage capacity of 200 acre-feet at
normal water surface elevation of 698.78
feet; (3) a short entrance channel
excavated in rock near the left dam
abutment that directs water to an intake
structure with 17-foot-wide trashracks
with 5-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a 52foot-long by 46-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse; (5) two double-regulated
open-pit type turbine-generator units
each rated at 2,500 kilowatts (kW) for a
total installed capacity of 5,000 kW; (6)
an approximately 230-foot-long tailrace,
excavated in rock at a normal tailwater
elevation of 681.17 feet; (7) a 500-footlong, 23-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
owned by Duquesne Light Company; (8)
4.16-kV generator leads, a 60-foot-long
section of 5-kV underground cable
leading to a 4.16/23-kV transformer in
an outdoor substation; and (9)
appurtenant facilities. The average
annual generation was 19,524 megawatthours for the period from 2015 to 2019.
The Townsend Project operates in a
run-of-river mode with a continuous
minimum flow of 304 cubic feet per
second (cfs), or inflow, whichever is
less, conveyed to the bypassed reach for
the protection of aquatic resources. The
flow for operating a single unit is 600
cfs and minimum river flow for the
project operation is 904 cfs. There is
minimal to no available usable storage
behind the dam and if river flow is less
than 904 cfs, all water is spilled over the
dam. The project is typically operated
automatically, but manual operation
may occur during dynamic high-water
events. The project is returned to
automatic operation when flow
decreases.

There are three ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project: you can file a protest to the
project, you can file a motion to

can file comments on the project. There
is no fee or cost for filing protests,
motions to intervene, or comments. The
deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on February 10, 2025.
How to file protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is explained
below.
The Commission’s Office of Public
Participation (OPP) supports meaningful
public engagement and participation in
Commission proceedings. OPP can help
members of the public, including
landowners, environmental justice
communities, Tribal members and

information and navigate Commission

Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the
Commission’s regulations under the
NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s
staff may file a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the time
allowed or if a protest is filed and then
withdrawn within 30 days after the
allowed time for filing a protest, the
CFR 157.205.
include individuals, organizations,
businesses, municipalities, and other entities. 18
CFR 385.102(d).
proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the
time allowed for protest. If a protest is
filed and not withdrawn within 30 days
after the time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request for
authorization will be considered by the
Commission.
Protests must comply with the
requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission’s
regulations,3 and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is February
10, 2025. A protest may also serve as a
motion to intervene so long as the
protestor states it also seeks to be an
intervenor.
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a
motion to intervene in this proceeding.
Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders
issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the
Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
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 February 10,
2025. 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)

The Townsend Project operates in a run-of-river mode with a
continuous minimum flow of 304 cubic feet per second (cfs), or inflow,
whichever is less, conveyed to the bypassed reach for the protection of
aquatic resources. The flow for operating a single unit is 600 cfs and
minimum river flow for the project operation is 904 cfs. There is
minimal to no available usable storage behind the dam and if river flow
is less than 904 cfs, all water is spilled over the dam. The project is
typically operated automatically, but manual operation may occur during
dynamic high-water events. The project is returned to automatic
operation when flow decreases.
