    k. This application has been accepted and is now ready for 
environmental analysis.
    l. The project consists of the following existing facilities:

Swan Lake Dam

    (1) A 14-foot-high, 250-foot-long rock masonry gravity dam 
impounding Swan Lake with a surface area of approximately 1,364 acres 
at an elevation of 201 feet above sea level; (2) a concrete inlet 
structure; (3) three 3.5-foot-high, 4-foot-wide manually operated 
butterfly gates that regulate flow through the inlet structure; (4) two 
culverts that convey flow under Route 141; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities.

[[Page 57473]]

Mason's Dam

    (1) A 15-foot-high, 86-foot-long rock masonry dam impounding a 
reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 1,621 acre-feet at 
an elevation of 188 feet above sea level; (2) a concrete inlet 
structure; (3) a manually operated butterfly gate regulating flow from 
the inlet structure to the penstock; (4) a 3-foot-diameter, 350-foot-
long steel penstock; (5) a 266-square-foot concrete powerhouse 
containing two Kaplan turbines and generating units with a licensed 
capacity of 100 kW; (6) a 300-foot-long, 12-kilovolt (kV) transmission 
line; and (7) appurtenant facilities. Mason's Development generates 
when flows in excess of 5 cfs are available and when an operator is 
present.

Kelly Dam

    (1) A 15-foot-high, 135-foot-long masonry gravity dam impounding a 
reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 200 acre-feet at an 
elevation of approximately 159 feet above sea level; and (2) three 3-
foot-high, 2.5-foot-wide manually operated butterfly gates.

Mill Dam

    (1) A 6-foot-tall, 70-foot-wide masonry dam impounding a reservoir 
with a storage capacity of approximately 7 acre-feet at an elevation of 
approximately 128 feet above sea level; (2) a concrete inlet structure; 
(3) a trash sluice with wooden stop logs; (4) a powerhouse containing a 
Francis-type turbine and generator unit with a licensed capacity of 75 
kW; (5) a 60-foot-wide concrete spillway; and (6) an approximately 100-
foot-long, 12-kV transmission line. The penstock used to deliver water 
to the powerhouse has been removed due to deterioration and subsequent 
leakage; thus, the powerhouse is not operating.

CMP Dam

    (1) A 21-foot-high, 231-foot-long buttress dam impounding a 
reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 72 acre-feet at an 
elevation of approximately 109 feet above sea level; (2) a manually 
operated low-level water release lift gate; (3) a manually operated 
lift gate regulating flow to the penstock; (4) a 5-foot-diameter, 
1,200-foot-long steel penstock; (5) a 300-square-foot concrete and 
timber powerhouse with a Kaplan-type turbine and generator unit with a 
licensed capacity of 200 kW; (6) a 42-foot-long spillway; and (7) an 
approximately 500-foot-long, 12-kV transmission line. The penstock used 
to deliver water to the powerhouse is currently out of service due to 
damage, deterioration, and subsequent leakage; thus, the powerhouse is 
not operating.
