14260 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 49 / Monday, March 14, 2022 / Notices 

2,002.4 feet and 2,003.4 feet NGVD 29. 

A minimum flow of 360 cubic feet per 

second (cfs), or project inflow if less, is 

provided downstream of each 

powerhouse. Article 406 of the current 

license requires that following periods 

of spill when a spillway gate has been 

opened 2 feet of more, spill flows (into 

the Buck bypassed reach) must be 

released through a 2-foot gate opening 

for at least 3 hours, then the gate 

opening must be reduced to 1 foot for 

at least an additional 3 hours prior to 

closing the gate. 

Appalachian proposes to continue 

operating the project in a ROR mode 

and providing a 360-cfs minimum flow 

at each development. However, 

Appalachian proposes to modify the 

existing ramping rate requirement at the 

Buck Development such that, following 

periods of spill when a spillway gate 

has been opened 2 feet or more, water 

would be released (into the Buck 

bypassed reach) through a 2-foot gate 

opening for at least 2 hours, then the 

gate opening would be reduced to 1 foot 

for 2 hours, and finally to 0.5 foot for 

2 hours before closing the gate. In 

addition to this measure, which is 

intended to minimize walleye stranding 

in the Buck bypassed reach, 

Appalachian proposes environmental 

measures for the protection and 

enhancement of other aquatic resources 

as well as terrestrial, recreation, and 

cultural resources. 

Appalachian also proposes to upgrade 

three (of the four) turbine-generator 

units at the Byllesby Development and 

two (of the three) turbine-generator 

units at the Buck Development. The 

proposed upgrades are expected to 

increase the total installed capacity from 

26.1 MW to 29.8 MW and the project’s 

average annual generation by 25,927 

MWh. In addition, Appalachian 

proposes to add to the current project 

boundary: (1) The Byllesby control 

house and switchyard and (2) two 2- 

mile-long overhead 13.2-kilovolt 

transmission lines that extend from the 

Buck powerhouse to the Byllesby 

control house.
