k. Description of Project: The proposed Purgatory Hydro Power

powerhouse/shed containing three 700-watt turbines for a total
installed capacity of approximately 2 kilowatts connected to an 8-inch-
polyvinyl chloride turbine system; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The
applicant proposes to sell power to Central Maine Power Company.
When a Declaration of Intention is filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the Commission to
investigate and determine if the project would affect the interests of
interstate or foreign commerce. The Commission also determines whether
or not the project: (1) would be located on a navigable waterway; (2)
would occupy public lands or reservations of the United States; (3)
would utilize surplus water or water power from a government dam; or
(4) would be located on a non-navigable stream over which Congress has
Commerce Clause jurisdiction and would be constructed or enlarged after
1935.
