[Project No. 11437–001 North Carolina]

Hydro Matrix Partnership, Ltd; Notice

of Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

December 31, 1996.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for license for the proposed

Jordan Hydroelectric Project, located on

the Haw River, Chatham County, North

Carolina, and has prepared a Draft

Environmental Assessment (DEA) for

the project. In the DEA, the

Commission’s staff has analyzed the

potential environmental impacts of the

project and has concluded that approval

of the project, with appropriate

mitigation measures, would not

constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

l. Description of Project: The

Petenwell and Castle Rock project

consists of the 20–MW Petenwell

Development and the 15–MW Castle

Rock Development. Together these

developments provide average annual

generation of about 200,000 Mwh.

Wisconsin River Power Company

(WRPCo) is owned by Consolidated

Water Power Company (CWPCo),

Wisconsin Public Service Corporation

(WPSC), and Wisconsin Power & Light

Company (WP&L). These owners each

use about one-third of the project’s

power.

Project operation and administration

is provided by CWPCo. Maintenance

and plant surveillance is provided by

WRPCo. The project is operated on a

seasonal basis for flood control, power

generation, and recreation

enhancement. The Petenwell

Development is operated in a peaking

mode when river flows fall below the

development’s hydraulic capacity,

although it is generally operated such

that daily average outflows equal

inflows. The reservoir’s water level

varies seasonally to provide for flood

control, reservoir recreation, and

downstream power production. The

Castle Rock Development is operated in

a modified run-of-river mode allowing

some peaking superimposed on a baselevel flow and providing for a recreation

flow through the Wisconsin Dells.

Petenwell Development—The

Petenwell Development consists of: (1)

a reservoir with a drainage area of 5,800

square miles, a normal surface area of

25,180 acres and a storage volume of

495,000 acre-feet at the normal

operating water surface elevation of

923.9 feet NGVD which is controlled by

Petenwell Dam located at river mile

171.9 on the Wisconsin River in

Wisconsin; (2) and East Dike which is

7,000 feet long and 20 feet high with top

width of 12 feet at a crest elevation of

933.9 feet NGVD and side slopes of

2.5H: 1V, constructed of compacted

sand with riprapped upstream face; (3)

an East Dam which is 8,000 feet long

and 50 feet high with top width of 12

feet at a crest elevation of 933.9 feet

NGVD and side slopes of 2.5H:1V,

constructed of compacted sand with

riprapped upstream face and gravel toe

drains; (4) a West Dike which is five

miles long and 20 feet high with top

width of 12 feet at a crest elevation of

933.9 feet NGVD and side slopes of

2.5H:1V, constructed of compacted sand

with riprapped upstream face; (5) a

West Dam which is 500 feet long and 50

feet high with top width of 12 feet at a

crest elevation of 933.9 feet NGVD and

side slopes of 2.5H:1V, constructed of

compacted sand with riprapped

upstream face and gravel toe drains; (6)

a 525-foot-long concrete overflow

spillway with 30-foot-deep sheetpile

cutoff and a crest elevation of 905.9 feet

NGVD, with 15 radial gates, each 30 feet

wide and 18 feet high, operated by

individual hydraulic cylinder hoists and

separated by concrete piers; (7) a

regulating bay containing one electric

chain hoist operating a 30-foot-wide by

18-foot-high radial gate and a stilling

basin separated from the rest of the

spillway by a concrete wall; (8) a 159-

foot-long powerhouse with 110-footwide concrete substructure, including

intake and draft tubes, 50-foot-wide

masonry superstructure and truss

H.R. governors rated at 60,000 ft-lbs;

(10) four vertical General Electric

synchronous generators operating at

163.6 rpm with power factor of 0.8 rated

at 6,250 KVA; (11) a switchyard

containing two Westinghouse 6.9/138

Kv power transformers rated at 15 MVA;

and (12) accessory equipment including

a 50-ton overhead traveling crane in the

powerhouse, two gantry cranes, a

compressed air system, spillway bubbler

system, and a battery bank.
