k. The Project Description: 

The existing Merced Falls 

Hydroelectric Project consists of: (1) A 

concrete gravity dam with a structural 

height of 34 feet, and a crest length of 

575 feet; (2) three radial gates, each 20 

feet in length and 13.5 feet high; (3) a 

1-mile-long project impoundment with 

approximately 900 acre-feet of storage 

capacity, a useable storage capacity of 

approximately 579 acre-feet, a total 

surface area of approximately 65 acres, 

and a normal impoundment elevation of 

344 feet above mean sea level; (4) 

powerhouse facilities consisting of a 

steel building housing a 3.4-megawatt 

(MW) turbine/generator unit and a 

vertical Kaplan-type four-blade turbine; 

(5) a 1,000-foot-long earthen levee with 

a crest width of 8 feet; (6) an adjacent 

intake structure with a debris rack; and 

(7) a non-operable fish ladder. 

The Merced Falls Project is operated 

in a run-of-river mode dependent on 

water outflow from MID’s upstream 

Merced River Project (FERC No. 2179). 

Inflow to the project passes through the 

impoundment, which is kept at a 

constant water elevation and then either 

through the powerhouse or the dam’s 

radial gates. Flows of up to 

approximately 1,750 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) are diverted through the 

powerhouse, and then discharged to the 

Merced River via the tailrace. When 

water inflows exceed 2,200 cfs, the 

project spills water through the radial 

gates. During flood events with flows 

greater than 12,250 cfs, the needle 

beams can be dropped, allowing the 

575-foot-long concrete section of the 

dam to act as a spillway. 

The project has a dependable capacity 

of 1.7 MW and an annual average 

generation of approximately 13.5 

gigawatt-hours. PG&E is not proposing 

any new or upgraded facilities or 

structural changes to the project. PG&E 

proposes to modify the project boundary 

by removing approximately 4.8 acres of 

licensee-owned lands, which PG&E 

indicates are not needed for project 

purposes.
