express permission.

of: (1) A new 8,000-foot-long, 125- to 

175-foot-high roller-compacted concrete 

semi-circular dam forming an upper 

reservoir having a surface area of 150 

acres and a total storage capacity 

between approximately 6,138 and 9,207 

acre-feet at a normal maximum water 

surface elevation between 1,650 and 

1,750 feet above mean sea level (msl); 

(2) a lower reservoir encompassing the 

existing Silver Creek Reservoir and 

neighboring abandoned mines land and 

having a surface area of 100 acres and 

a total storage capacity of 10,000 acrefeet at a normal maximum water surface 

elevation between 1,200 and 1,300 feet 

msl; (3) a 3,000-foot-long tunnel 

connecting the upper and lower 

reservoirs; (4) a powerhouse containing 

two turbine units with a total rated 

capacity of 250 megawatts; (5) a 230- 

kilovolt, 2-mile-long transmission line; 

and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 

project would have an annual 

generation of 784,750 megawatt-hours.
