The existing Colliersville Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) A dam that includes: A 200-foot-long, 35-foot-high, reinforced-concrete, Ambursen-type dam or spillway structure \1\ with a crest elevation of 1,150.22 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29); a 50- foot-wide concrete headgate structure located on the west side of the river and adjacent to the spillway, forming the closure with the west bank; and an L-shaped, 66-foot-long, concrete wall with one side along the east side of the spillway and the other side parallel to the axis of the dam, extending approximately 6 to 8 feet above the crest of the dam; (2) a 364-acre reservoir (Goodyear Lake) with a gross storage capacity of 7,800 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of 1,150.22 feet NGVD29; (3) a 550-foot-long reinforced concrete power canal, approximately 50 feet wide and 6 feet deep at the head gates, extending from a head gate structure adjacent to the dam (i.e., the intake) to the powerhouse; (4) a 103-foot-long by 33-foot-wide reinforced concrete powerhouse with trash racks with a clear spacing of 1.5 inches, and containing two turbines rated at 850 horsepower (HP) and 1,150 HP, and two generators having a rated capacity of 650 kilowatts (kW) and 850 kW, respectively; (5) a 300-foot-long and approximately 50- to 60-foot- wide tailrace; (6) three, approximately 80-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt underground generator leads or transmission lines from the powerhouse to an adjacent substation owned by the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation; and (7) appurtenant facilities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ A type of buttress dam of which the upstream part is a relatively thin flat slab usually made of reinforced concrete. A buttress dam consists of watertight parts supported at intervals on the downstream side by a series of buttresses. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodyear Lake Hydro operates the project in a run-of-river mode. The project experiences substantial seasonal and annual variations in generation, and generates an annual average of 5,985 megawatt-hours. Goodyear Lake Hydro proposes to continue to operate the project in run- of-river mode. m.
