n. The Barber Dam Project consists of the following existing
facilities: (1) A 1,100-foot-long earthen embankment dam; (2) a 400-
foot-long, 25-foot-high concrete capped timber crib spillway section;
(3) a powerhouse containing two 1,850-kilowatt generating units; (4) a
trash sluiceway; (5) a 75-acre impoundment; (6) a 100-foot-long
concrete tailrace; (7) 120 feet of transmission line; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The project is operated in a run-of-river mode
and generates an average of 11,900 megawatt-hours per year. The
licensee proposes to modify the existing spillway to incorporate a
variable elevation weir, and to modify the plant operating system to
control the variable weir so that water is automatically bypassed to
the Boise River when the powerhouse trips offline.
