l. The existing Gregory B. Jarvis 

Project consists of the following 

facilities: (1) A 570-foot-long dam; (2) a 

2,600-foot-long south embankment dam; 

(3) a 400-foot-long ogee-type, cyclopean 

concrete spillway with a crest elevation 

of 1,225 feet; 1 (4) a 65-foot-long, 82- 

foot-high non-overflow cyclopean 

concrete intake structure with the top at 

1,240 feet; (5) intake structure trash 

racks with 5.375-inch clear-spacing; (6) 

a 15-foot-diameter penstock, which 

bifurcates into two 90-foot-long, 10.5- 

foot-diameter penstocks; (7) two 3-foot 

by 4-foot gate valves that lead to a 42- 

inch-diameter sluice gate; (8) a 120-footlong, 55-foot-wide, 43-foot-high semiunderground powerhouse located 200 

feet downstream of the non-overflow 

intake structure; (9) two 4.5-megawatt 

horizontal Kaplan turbine-generator 

units; (10) an underground transformer; 

(11) a 280-foot-long tailrace; (12) a 60- 

inch-diameter water pipe used as a lowlevel outlet; (13) two 4.16-kilovolt (kV)

transformer; (14) an approximately 300- 

foot-long, 46-kV underground

transmission line; and (15) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The Gregory B. Jarvis Project takes 

advantage of the releases prescribed by 

the New York State Canal Corporation 

(NYS Canal Corp) in accordance with 

the 2012 Hinckley Reservoir Operating 

Diagram to generate power. Project 

operation is adjusted on a twice-weekly 

basis. NYPA does not deviate from the 

operating diagram unless directed to do 

so by the NYS Canal Corp. Reservoir 

levels are maintained between 1,195 feet 

and 1,225 feet (the elevation of the 

spillway crest); however, reservoir water 

levels can fall below 1,195 feet during 

a dry season. The Gregory B. Jarvis 

Project does not operate when reservoir 

levels are below 1,195 feet. 

The project has two horizontal Kaplan 

units which are each capable of 

operating between 300 and 900 cubic 

feet per second (cfs) for a total hydraulic 

capacity of 1,800 cfs under normal 

operating conditions. At flows within 

the operating range of the units (300 to 

1,800 cfs), the project provides outflow 

via generation. At flows below 300 cfs, 

or when the reservoir water surface 

elevation is below 1,195 feet, the project 

does not operate. During these 

conditions, the low-level sluice gate no. 

4 is used to pass a minimum flow of 160 

cfs. At flows greater than 1,800 cfs, and 

when the reservoir water surface 

elevation is greater than 1,225 feet, 

downstream releases are passed via a 

combination of generation and spillage. 

NYPA occasionally operates the 

project in peaking mode. When NYPA is 

peaking, it will average the outflow 

required by the operating diagram over 

the course of the day. When operated in 

this manner, the project generates with 

a lower outflow during non-peak 

demand periods and then generates 

with a higher outflow during peak 

demand periods such that the total daily 

average flow is equal to the outflow 

prescribed by the operating diagram. 

NYPA proposes to continue operating 

the project in the same manner as the 

current license and is not proposing to 

install any new structures as part of the 

relicensing. The project generated an 

annual average of approximately 28,863 

megawatt-hours between 2010 and 

2019.
