    k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now is

    l. The existing American Tissue Project consists of: (1) A 256-
foot-long, 23-foot-high cut granite, stone and brick masonry dam that 
includes a 61-foot-long, 26-foot-high west abutment section with 2-
foot-high permanent flashboards, a 100-foot-long, 19- to 23-foot-high 
spillway section with 12-inch-high flashboards and a crest elevation of 
122.3 feet mean sea level (msl), and a 95-foot-long, 27-foot-high east 
abutment section with a 34-foot-wide, 19-foot-high intake structure 
that includes: (a) A 17-foot-wide, 25.5-foot- high trashrack with 2-
inch clear spacing, (b) a manually-operated headgate that controls flow 
to the penstock, and (c) three 4.67-foot-diameter low level outlets at 
an elevation of about 100 feet msl for releasing minimum flows to the 
bypassed reach; (2) an approximately 5.5-acre, 1,000-foot-long 
impoundment with a normal maximum water surface elevation of 123.3 feet 
msl; (3) a 280-foot-long, 7-foot-diameter underground steel penstock; 
(4) a 37-foot-long, 34-foot-wide concrete and wooden powerhouse 
containing a single 1.0-megawatt turbine-generator unit; (5) a 250-
foot-long, 12-kilovolt transmission line; (6) a tailrace; and (7) 
appurtenant facilities. KEI Power operates the project in a run-of-
river mode, with an average annual generation of 5,430 megawatt-hours.
    KEI Power proposes to release the following minimum flows from the 
dam to provide downstream passage in the bypassed reach for alewives 
and adult eels: 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) from January 1 to May 
31; 29 cfs from June 1 to August 31; 69 cfs from September 1 to 
November 15; and 10 cfs from November 16 to December 31, or inflow to 
the impoundment, whichever is less. KEI Power also proposes to release 
a minimum flow of 52 cfs (or inflow, whichever is less) to the 
tailrace, which includes the minimum flows to the bypassed reach, to 
protect aquatic resources in the downstream reach. In addition, KEI 
Power proposes to

[[Page 46229]]

upgrade the existing downstream fish passage facility; reduce or cease 
generation during nighttime hours during the downstream eel passage 
season if dead/injured or entrained eels are observed; and construct 
and operate a new upstream passage facility for American eel. KEI Power 
also proposes to revise the project boundary by removing most of the 
bypassed reach, except for a small portion of the reach necessary to 
accommodate the proposed upstream eel passage facility and existing 
downstream fish passage facilities.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. 
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC

    n. Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene 
in accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 
18 CFR 385.210, .211, and .214. In determining the appropriate action 
to take, the Commission will consider all protests or other comments 
filed, but only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with 
the Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any 
comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or
