    m. The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this 
time.
    n. The Uintah Hydroelectric project operates as a run-of-river 
facility delivering water to the project facilities from three sources: 
the Uintah River, Big Springs Creek, and Pole Creek. The existing 
project facilities include: (1) An 8-foot-wide, 4-foot-deep, 1,100-
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 
to 4.75 miles. The licensee proposes no operational changes or new 
project facilities at this time.
    o. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
