The Annex Creek development consists of the following existing facilities: (1) The 264-acre Upper Annex Lake, impounded by a 118-foot- long, 20-foot-high dam with a 57-foot-wide spillway that discharges flows in excess of those needed for generation into the Lower Annex Lake; (2) a small timber saddle dam, 61 feet long and 6 feet high, located just west of the main dam; (3) the natural 27-acre Lower Annex Lake; (4) a lake tap intake on Upper Annex Lake; (5) a 1,433-foot-long power tunnel that narrows from 8 feet wide and 8 feet high at the intake to a 6.5-foot-diameter tunnel at the project valvehouse; (6) the project valvehouse containing the penstock intake; (7) the 7,097-foot- long, 3.5-foot-diameter penstock that narrows to a 2.8-foot-diameter before it bifurcates at the powerhouse to provide flows to two impulse turbine units with a total installed capacity of 3.675 MW; (8) the 67- foot-long, 48-foot-wide, 40-foot-high, powerhouse; (9) a tailrace that discharges flows over a weir into Taku Inlet; (10) a 12.5-mile-long, 23-kilovolt (kV) transmission line that conveys power to the Thane substation; and (11) appurtenant facilities.
