k. The Project Description: The 

proposed project facilities include: (1) A 

6-foot diameter, 105-foot-long steel 

penstock; (2) a 40-foot by 28-foot 

powerhouse containing a single 

horizontal shaft Francis turbine with an 

installed capacity of 3.4 megawatts; (3) 

an approximately 0.8-mile-long, 12.47-
