conduit, ending in a trifurcation; (2) two 35-foot-long, 8-foot-
diameter penstocks extending from the trifurcation to the powerhouse, 
transitioning to 6-foot-diameter before entering the powerhouse; (3) a 
10-foot-long, 8-foot-diameter steel penstock leaving the trifurcation 
and ending in a 7-foot-diameter cone valve and reducer to control 
discharge into the existing outlet stilling basin; (4) a 65-foot-long, 
46-foot-wide reinforced concrete powerhouse containing two vertical 
Francis-type turbine/generator units with a total capacity of 4.7 
megawatts; (5) two 25-foot-long steel draft tubes transitioning to 
concrete draft tube/tailrace section; (6) a 17-foot-long, 15-foot-
diameter tailrace channel connecting with the existing spillway 
stilling basin; (7) a 45-foot-long, 10-foot-wide aeration basin

69-kV transmission line extending from the project substation to the 
Peterson Flat substation (the point of interconnection); and (11) 
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Clark 
Canyon Dam Project would be 15.4 gigawatt-hours. All project facilities 
would be located on federal lands owned by the U.S. Bureau of 
Reclamation and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The applicant 
proposes to operate the project as run-of-release.
