project's normal maximum water surface elevation of 437.7 feet NGVD29;
(3) a 224-foot-long by 35-foot-wide brick and concrete powerhouse that
contains three identical 1.5-megawatt (MW) generating units (each
generating unit is connected to two identical propeller-type turbine
units with rated capacity of 1,006 horsepower each) for a total
installed capacity of 4.5 MW; (4) a 72-foot-long headwall between the
dam and the powerhouse with six low-level sluice gates and a non-

flow of 300 cubic feet per second is released downstream. The minimum
flow is typically provided as part of generation flows. Average annual
