that includes: (a) A south non-overflow section; (b) an overflow 
bulkhead section; (c) an eight-bay spillway section each with a steel 
tainter gate; (d) a powerhouse intake section; and (e) a north non-
overflow section; (2) a 77-acre impoundment with a gross storage 
capacity of 562 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of 1,772 feet 
National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and a net storage 
capacity of 220 acre-feet between elevations 1,768 and 1,772 feet 
NGVD29; (3) a 20-foot, 3-inch-wide intake section with angled steel 
trash racks (3-inch by 5/16th-inch trash rack bars spaced 2.5 inches on 
center) and a steel roller-type head gate; (4) a 27-foot-long steel-
lined penstock in concrete that transitions from a 13.5-foot-wide, 11-
foot-high entrance to an 8-foot-diameter conveyance to the turbine 
scroll case; (5) a 30-foot-long, 28-foot-wide, and 62-foot-high

interconnection with the local distribution grid. The City of Radford 
states that the formerly licensed transmission line now serves to 
distribute power to other sources along its length and is no longer 
part of the project.

peaking modes. For the period 1984 through 2013, the project's average
