facilities: (1) A dam, located about 500

feet upstream of the confluence with the

Penobscot River, and consisting of: a

114.5-foot-long concrete cutoff wall at

the north embankment, a 6-foot-long

non-overflow abutment, a 570-foot-long

and about 9-foot-high concrete overflow

spillway with 3-foot 9-inch-high

wooden flashboards, a 85-foot-long

gated spillway section with four 9-foot

by 9-foot steel roller flood gates, a 20-

foot-long non-overflow section

containing the exit for the Denil

fishway, and a 76-foot-long forebay

entrance deck; (2) a 108.5-foot-long,

28.5-foot-wide, and 18-foot-high

powerhouse integral with the dam; (3)

three turbine generator units, for a total

project installed capacity of 1,875

kilowatts (kW); (4) a 4-foot-wide

a contested on-the-record proceeding, to

deliver a copy of the communication, if

written, or a summary of the substance

of any oral communication, to the

in the decisional record. The

Commission will grant such requests

only when it determines that fairness so

or reconstruction, notification of the

actual date of initial startup, notification

of any physical or operational change to

an existing facility which may increase

the regulated pollutant emission rate,
