The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

k. This application has been accepted for filing, but is not ready
for environmental analysis at this time.
Project Description: The existing project consists of a dam that
includes three 12-foot-long Tainter gates with a crest elevation of
770.8 National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29); and a
powerhouse that includes an intake structure with a trashrack with 2-
inch clear bar spacing and a 210-kilowatt vertical Francis turbine-
generator unit. The dam creates an impoundment that has a surface area
of 235 acres at a normal surface elevation of 770.2 feet NGVD 29. From
the impoundment, water flows through the powerhouse to a tailrace that
empties into the Waupaca River.
Electricity generated at the powerhouse is transmitted to the
electric grid via 4.16-kilovolt generator lead lines, a step-up
transformer, and a 25-foot-long transmission line.
Project recreation facilities include: (1) a boat ramp that
provides impoundment access; (2) an approximately 270-foot-long access
road for the boat ramp; (3) a 100-foot-long portage trail; and (4) a
hand-carry boat put-in site downstream of the dam.
Wiscons8 proposes to continue operating the project in a run-of-
river mode and maintaining the impoundment elevation at 770.2 <plus-
minus> 0.25 feet NGVD 29. Wiscons8 also proposes to continue
maintaining the portage trail and put-in site. The put-in site also
includes a dock that Wiscons8 proposes to maintain for public tailrace
fishing. Wiscons8 is not proposing to maintain the boat ramp or 270-
foot-long access road as project facilities.
