The Lake Lynn Project is currently operated as a peaking facility with storage. Peaking hours and operations are dictated by market value. Seasonal peaking during winter typically occurs in the morning for 5 hours and in the afternoon for 5 hours to meet demand. During the summer, peaking occurs between 6:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m. in the evening. The maximum drawdown rate to meet peak demand is one-half a foot/ hour. Typical drawdown is 0.2–0.4 feet/ day, which can vary depending on environmental and economic considerations. The current license requires Lake Lynn Generation to maintain Cheat Lake between 868 feet and 870 feet NGVD 29 from May 1 through October 31, 857 feet and 870 feet NGVD 29 from November 1 through March 31, and 863 feet and 870 feet NGVD 29 from April 1 through April 30 each year. The current license also requires Lake Lynn Generation to release a downstream minimum flow of 212 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs), or inflow, from the dam when not generating, with an absolute minimum flow of 100 cfs regardless of inflow, when not generating. The project generates about 144,741 megawatt-hours annually. Lake Lynn Generation does not propose any changes to existing project facilities. However, Lake Lynn Generation proposes to: (1) continue operating the project as a peaking facility with storage, maintain minimum flows and lake levels as required by the existing license, and maintain the existing recreation facilities; (2) develop a number of plans, including an operations plan, a water quality monitoring plan, a recreation management plan, a shoreline management plan, and a historic properties management plan, as well as bat protection measures; and (3) remove approximately 244 acres of land from the project boundary. m.

    k. This application has been accepted and is now ready for 
environmental analysis.
    l. Project Description: The Lake Lynn Project consists of: (1) a 13 
mile-long, 1,729-acre impoundment (Cheat Lake; originally named Lake 
Lynn) with a maximum storage capacity of 72,300 acre-feet at a normal 
water surface elevation of 870 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 
1929 (NGVD 29) and a normal minimum storage capacity of 51,100 acre-
feet at 857 feet NGVD 29; (2) a 1,000-foot-long, 125-foot-high, 
concrete gravity dam with a 624-foot-long spillway section controlled 
by 26, 21-foot-wide by 17-foot-high, Tainter gates; (3) a concrete 
intake structure equipped with a log boom and eight trash racks with 4-
inch clear bar spacing; (4) eight 12-foot-wide by 18-foot-deep gated 
reinforced concrete penstocks; (5) a 160-foot-long by 94.5-foot-wide 
powerhouse containing four Francis generating units with a combined 
capacity of 51.2 megawatts; and (6) two 800-foot-long transmission 
lines that run from the powerhouse to a substation within the project 
boundary.
    The Lake Lynn Project is currently operated as a peaking facility 
with storage. Peaking hours and operations are dictated by market 
value. Seasonal peaking during winter typically occurs in the morning 
for 5 hours and in the afternoon for 5 hours to meet demand. During the 
summer, peaking occurs between 6:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. in the evening. The 
maximum drawdown rate to meet peak demand is one-half a foot/hour. 
Typical drawdown is 0.2-0.4 feet/day, which can vary depending on 
environmental and economic considerations. The current license requires 
Lake Lynn Generation to maintain Cheat Lake between 868 feet and 870 
feet NGVD 29 from May 1 through October 31, 857 feet and 870 feet NGVD 
29 from November 1 through March 31, and 863 feet and 870 feet NGVD 29 
from April 1 through April 30 each year. The current license also 
requires Lake Lynn Generation to release a downstream minimum flow of 
212 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs), or inflow, from the dam when not 
generating, with an absolute minimum flow of 100 cfs regardless of 
inflow, when not generating. The project generates about 144,741 
megawatt-hours annually.
    Lake Lynn Generation does not propose any changes to existing 
project facilities. However, Lake Lynn Generation proposes to: (1) 
continue operating the project as a peaking facility with storage, 
maintain minimum flows and lake levels as required by the existing 
license, and maintain the existing recreation facilities; (2) develop a 
number of plans, including an operations plan, a water quality 
monitoring plan, a recreation management plan, a shoreline management 
plan, and a historic properties management plan, as well as bat 
protection measures; and (3) remove approximately 244 acres of land 
from the project boundary.
