j. This application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

k. Project Description: The project 

consists of (upstream to downstream): 

(1) A 1,320-foot-long, 6-foot-high 

diversion dam on the Loup River; (2) an 

intake structure composed of eleven 24- 

foot-long by 5-foot-high steel intake 

gates located on the north bank of the 

Loup River immediately upstream of the 

diversion dam; (3) three 20-foot-long by 

6-foot-high steel sluice gates located 

between the diversion dam and the 

intake structure; (4) the 35-mile-long 

Loup Canal; (5) a 2-mile-long settling 

basin located in the upper portion of the 

Loup Canal and containing a floating 

hydraulic dredge and skimming weir; 

(6) the Monroe Powerhouse containing 

three Francis-type, turbine-generating 

units each with a rated capacity of 2.612 

megawatts (MW); (7) a 760-acre 

regulating reservoir, Lake Babcock, with 

a storage capacity of 2,270 acre-feet at 

its full pool elevation of 1,531 feet; (8) 

a 200-acre regulating reservoir, Lake 

North, with a storage capacity of 2,080 

acre-feet at an elevation of 1,531 feet; (9) 

a concrete control structure in the south 

dike linking the two reservoirs; (10) a 

60-foot-long by 104-foot-wide by 40- 

foot-high inlet structure with trashracks; 

(11) three 20-foot-diameter by 385-footlong steel penstocks connecting the inlet 

structure with a powerhouse (Columbus 

Powerhouse); (12) the Columbus 

Powerhouse containing three Francistype, turbine-generating units each with 

a rated capacity of 15.2 MW; and (13) 

appurtenant facilities. The project has a 

combined installed capacity of 53.4 

MW. 

The Monroe Powerhouse operates in 

a run-of-river mode (i.e., canal inflow to 

the powerhouse closely approximates 

outflow from the powerhouse with no 

storage of canal flow). The maximum 

hydraulic capacity of the canal at the 

Monroe Powerhouse is 3,500 cubic feet 

per second (cfs). The Monroe 

Powerhouse spans the canal and 

functions as an energy-producing canal 

drop structure. 

The Columbus Powerhouse operates 

as a daily peaking facility. The water 

levels in Lake Babcock and Lake North 

are generally drawn down about 2 to 3 

feet to produce power during times of 

peak electrical demand. In off-peak 

hours, when there is less demand for 

electricity, the turbines are turned down 

or shut off, which allows Lake Babcock 

and Lake North to refill, thereby 

allowing peaking operations to occur 

the following day. The hydraulic 

capacity of the canal at the Columbus 

Powerhouse is 4,800 cfs. 

The minimum leakage rate at the 

Loup River diversion dam and sluice 

gate structure is about 50 cfs. During hot 

weather conditions, Loup Power District 

operates the diversion in a manner that 

allows flows of between 50 to 75 cfs 

(including the leakage flow) to pass into 

the Loup River downstream of the 

diversion to prevent high water 

temperatures that could cause fish 

mortality. 

Loup Power District proposes new 

and improved recreational amenities at 

the project; however, there are no 

proposed changes to the existing project 

facilities or operations. 

Loup Power District proposes to 

remove three areas of land from the 

project boundary that it finds are not 

necessary for project operations or 

purposes. In addition, Loup Power 

District proposes to add three parcels of 

land to the project boundary that it finds 

are needed for project purposes.
