    n. Project Description: The project consists of two developments; 
the 14.88 Megawatt (MW) Parr Shoals Development and the 511.2-MW 
Fairfield Pumped Storage Development.
    The Parr Shoals Development consists of: (1) The 15-mile-long, 
4,250-acre Parr Reservoir, at full pond elevation 265.3 feet North 
American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88); (2) the 2,690-foot-long Parr 
Shoals Dam, which includes a non-overflow section and powerhouse intake 
section; (3) a powerhouse integral with the dam, with six generating 
units; and (4) transmission facilities that consist of three 950-foot-
long, 13.8-kilovolt lines extending from the hydro station to the non-
project Parr sub-station.
    The Fairfield Pumped Storage Development consists of: (1) The 
6,800-acre Monticello Reservoir (upper reservoir), at normal maximum 
elevation 424.3 feet NAVD 88, formed by four earthen dams (A, B, C, and 
D); (2) a 265-foot-long gated intake channel, located between dams B 
and C; (3) four 800-foot-long surface penstocks bifurcating into eight 
penstocks; (4) an underground generating station, which houses eight 
pumped-turbine units; and (5) transmission facilities that consist of 
three 7,000-foot-long lines extending from the Fairfield switch station 
to the non-project V.C. Summer switchyard.
    The Fairfield Pumped Storage Development is operated to generate 
during peak demand periods. Generation usually occurs during the day, 
with the upper reservoir replenished by pumping water at night (non-
peak period). The Parr Shoals Development serves as the lower reservoir 
for the pumped storage project.
