k. Description of Request: The applicant requests approval to
replace the turbine runners for Units 1 and 3 at the Tillery
Development with aerating runners which would improve power and
reliability, and would be capable of meeting the project's dissolved
oxygen (DO) requirements. The applicant states the updates are expected
to increase the project's installed capacity from 105,375 kilowatts
(kW) to 115,875 kW. The maximum hydraulic capacity would increase from
26,882 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 28,570 cfs (6% increase). The
applicant also filed an updated DO Compliance Implementation Plan to
reflect the DO changes caused by the new aeration runners, as well as a
new Maintenance and Emergency Protocol. The amendment application does
not propose any changes to the licensed project operations beyond the
primary methods of DO aeration, nor does the applicant anticipate other
modifications of the project facilities.
