Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include

The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each
person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an
intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to
the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. This application has been accepted, and is ready for
environmental analysis at this time.
l. The existing Municipal Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) A
293-foot-long, 58-foot-high reinforced concrete slab and buttress dam
that includes: (a) A south non-overflow section; (b) an overflow
bulkhead section; (c) an eight-bay spillway section each with a steel
tainter gate; (d) a powerhouse intake section; and (e) a north non-
overflow section; (2) a 77-acre impoundment with a gross storage
capacity of 562 acre-feet at a normal pool elevation of 1,772 feet
National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and a net storage
capacity of 220 acre-feet between elevations 1,768 and 1,772 feet; (3)
a 20-foot, 3-inch-wide intake section with angled steel trash racks (3-
inch by 5/16th-inch trash rack bars spaced 2.5 inches on center) and a
steel roller type head gate; (4) a 27-foot-long steel-lined penstock in
concrete that transitions from a 13.5-foot-wide, 11-foot-high entrance
to an 8-foot-diameter conveyance to the turbine scroll case; (5) a 30-
foot-long, 28-foot-wide, and 62-foot-high powerhouse containing a
single 1,185-kilowatt turbine-generator unit; (6) a 2.7-mile-long

facilities.
The City of Radford proposes to revise its exhibit G to include
transmission facilities composed of only three, 560-foot-long, 4.16-kV
overhead conductors that transmit power to a switched disconnect/
interconnection with the local distribution grid. The City of Radford
states that the formerly licensed transmission line now serves to
distribute power to other sources along its length and is no longer
part of the project.
The City of Radford operates the project in both run-of-river and
peaking modes. For the period 1984 through 2013, the project's average
annual generation was about 4,550 megawatt-hours.
m. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
