concrete intake and powerhouse section; (c) a 292-foot-long, 26- to 30-
foot-high masonry and concrete retaining wall section (right forebay 
dam); (d) a 34-foot-long, 11-foot-high trash sluice; (e) a 66-foot-
long, 18-foot-high gated spillway section with two 30-foot-wide, 8.8-
foot-high spillway gates; and (f) a 2,428-foot-long, 0.5- to 10-foot-
high concrete and natural rock spillway section; (2) a 19-acre,1.5-
mile-long impoundment with a normal maximum elevation of 629.0 feet 
above mean sea level (msl); (3) a 25-foot-high, 88-foot-wide intake
