k. This application has been accepted, 

and is ready for environmental analysis 

at this time. 

l. The existing project consists of the 

Badger and Rapide Croche 

developments. 

As licensed, the existing Badger 

Development utilizes the head created 

by the 22-foot-high Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) Kaukauna dam and 

consists of: (1) A 2,100-foot-long, 100- 

foot-wide power canal that bifurcates 

into a 260-foot-long, 200-foot-wide canal 

and a 250-foot-long, 80-foot-wide canal 

leading to; (2) the Old Badger 

powerhouse containing two 1,000- 

kilowatt (kW) generating units for a total 

installed capacity of 2,000 kW; and (3) 

the New Badger powerhouse containing 

two 1,800-kW generating units for a 

total installed capacity of 3,600 kW; and 

(4) appurtenant facilities. 

As licensed, the existing Rapide 

Croche Development utilizes the head 

created by the 20-foot-high Corps 

Rapide Croche dam, located 

approximately 4.5 miles downstream 

from the Badger Development and 

consists of: (1) A powerhouse, located 

on the south end of the dam, containing 

four 600-kW generating units for a total 

installed capacity of 2,400 kW; (2) the 

5-mile-long, 12-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line (serving both 

developments); and (3) appurtenant 

facilities. 

The license application also indicates 

that flashboards are used at the 

Kaukauna and Rapide Croche dams to 

provide additional head for project 

generation. The flashboards used at the 

Kaukauna dam are 6 inches high. The 

flashboards used at the Rapide Croche 

dam are 30 inches high. 

The proposed project would include 

decommissioning the Old Badger and 

New Badger developments and 

constructing a new 7-megawatt (MW) 

powerhouse about 150 feet upstream 

from the existing New Badger plant site. 

Proposed project works would consist 

of: (1) A modified power canal leading 

to; (2) a new powerhouse with integral 

intake; and (3) two identical 3.5- to 3.6– 

MW horizontal Kaplan ‘‘S’’ type 

turbines. The Old Badger development 

would be converted to an alternative 

use. The New Badger development 

would be decommissioned, demolished, 

and removed. The existing service road 

would be demolished and removed. The 

tailrace area associated with the existing 

Old Badger development would be 

filled with soil. A new service road 

would be constructed over the filled 

area. No significant changes are 

proposed for the Rapide Croche 

development. 

The existing Badger and Rapide 

Croche developments currently operate 

in a run-of-river mode. As proposed, the 

new project would continue to operate 

in a run-of-river mode.
