foot-long canal that delivers water from Big Springs Creek; (2) a 
concrete diversion structure on the Big Springs Creek canal which 
conveys flow through a 916-foot-long, 28-inch diameter, steel pipeline 
that connects to the point of diversion on the Uintah River; (3) an 80-
foot-long, 4-foot-wide, 3-foot-high overflow-type concrete diversion 
structure with a 10-foot-high, 6.5-foot-wide steel slide gate on the 
Uintah River; (4) a 16-foot-wide, 8-foot-deep, 25,614-foot-long, main 
supply canal which conveys water from Big Springs Creek and the Uintah 
River; (5) a stop-log diversion structure which diverts water from Pole 
Creek; (6) a 6-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep, 6,200-foot-long supply canal 
which collects water from the Pole Creek diversion; (7) an 86-inch-
wide, 80-inch-long, 43-inch-high transition bay and a 140-foot-long, 
14-inch diameter steel penstock collects water from the Pole Creek 
supply canal; (8) a 23-foot by 13-foot concrete forebay structure 
containing trashracks, an overflow channel, and a headgate that is 
located at the termination of the main supply canal and the Pole Creek 
penstock; (9) a single 5,238-foot-long, 36-inch diameter polyurethane 
and steel penstock which delivers water to a concrete powerhouse with 
two Pelton turbines driving two 600-kilowatt generators; (10) a 600-
foot-long tailrace; (11) a 4.75-mile-long, 24.9-kilovolt single wood 
pole distribution line; and (12) appurtenant facilities. The estimated 
average annual generation is about 6,073 megawatt-hours. The licensee 
proposes to modify the project boundary to account for an update to the 
project transmission line that reduced its total length from 8.5 miles
