o. Project Description: The existing 

Sugar River II Hydroelectric Project 

consists of: (1) A 115.5-foot-long, 10- 

foot-high reinforced concrete dam that 

includes the following sections: (a) A 

35-foot-long left abutment section with 

a cut-off wall; (b) a 44.5-foot-long 

spillway section with a crest elevation 

of 822 feet National Geodetic Vertical 

Datum 1929 (NGVD 29) that contains: (i) 

Two 11.5-foot-wide, 10-foot-high 

stanchion bays equipped with wooden 

stop logs; (ii) an 11.5-foot-wide, 10-foothigh hydraulically-operated steel slide 

gate; and (iii) a 3-foot-wide sluiceway; 

and (c) a 36-foot-long right abutment 

section with a cut-off wall; (2) a 1.4-acre 

impoundment with a storage capacity of 

11 acre-feet at an elevation of 822 feet 

NGVD 29; (3) a 14-foot-wide, 12-foothigh intake structure adjacent to the 

right abutment equipped with a 

trashrack with 1-inch clear bar spacing; 

(4) a 730-foot-long buried penstock that 

includes a 500-foot-long, 7-footdiameter steel section and a 230-footlong, 7-foot-diameter concrete section; 

(5) a 35-foot-long, 27-foot-wide concrete 

and brick masonry powerhouse 

containing a single 200-kilowatt 

Francis-type turbine-generator unit; (6) a 

75-foot-long, 4.16-kilovolt overhead 

transmission line and a transformer that 

connects the project to the local utility 

distribution system; and (7) appurtenant 

facilities. The project creates an 

approximately 400-foot-long bypassed 

reach of the Sugar River. 

p. The current license requires the 

licensee to: (1) Operate the project in an 

instantaneous run-of-river mode; (2) 

release a continuous minimum 

bypassed reach flow of 15 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) or inflow, whichever is less, 

through the sluiceway from June 16 

through March 30, and release a 

minimum bypassed reach flow of 20 cfs 

from April 1 through June 15, during the 

downstream migration season for 

Atlantic Salmon smolts. The project is 

operated in a run-of-river mode by 

manually raising and lowering the 

spillway slide gate, and removing/ 

adding stop logs to the stanchion bays 

to pass flows and maintain a constant 

impoundment water surface elevation. 

Downstream fish passage is provided 

through the sluiceway. The average 

annual generation of the project is 

approximately 650 megawatt-hours. 

New Hampshire Renewable is not 

proposing any new project facilities or 

changes in project operation.
