1See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) (2021). 

l. The Janesville Project consists of the 

following existing facilities: (1) a 131- 

acre reservoir with a gross storage 

capacity of 655 acre-feet at a maximum 

reservoir surface elevation of 769.8 feet 

National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 

1929; (2) a 65-foot-wide, 8.25-foot-deep 

forebay structure located on the 

upstream side of the powerhouse; (3) a 

321.6-foot-long dam including three 

sections from left to right looking 

downstream: (i) a 207-foot-long 

overflow spillway topped with 22-inch 

flashboards, (ii) a 38.3-foot-long gated 

spillway, and (iii) a 76.3-foot-long 

powerhouse integral with the dam that 

contains 76.25-foot-wide by 9-foot-high 

trashracks with 4.0-inch clear spacing; 

(4) two vertical-shaft turbine-generating 

units, each with a maximum hydraulic 

capacity of 600 cubic feet per second, 

and a total installed capacity of 500 

kilowatts; (5) a 330-foot-long by 480- 

foot-wide tailrace; (6) a 55-foot-long, 

312.5-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 

connecting the powerhouse to the point 

of interconnection via a 4.1-kV/12.4-kV 

step-up transformer; and (7) 

appurtenant facilities. 

Project recreation facilities at the 

Janesville Project include a take-out and 

portage trail. The Janesville Project is 

currently operated in a run-of-river 

mode and generates an annual average 

of approximately 2,285 megawatt-hours. 

Midwest Hydro proposes to continue 

operating the project as a run-of-river 

facility and does not propose any new 

construction. 

Midwest Hydro proposes 

modifications to the current project 

boundary. The proposed project 

boundary would include Midwest 

Hydro-owned lands that include project 

facilities near the Janesville Dam and 

downstream to include Midwest-owned 

lands on the right side of the Rock 

River, as well as the City of Janesvilleowned canoe portage put-in. 

The current project boundary 

encompasses 503.57 acres, which 

includes 36.97 acres of project land and 

466.6 acres of submerged land. The 

proposed project boundary would 

include approximately 144.39 acres, 

which includes 10.15 acres of project 

land and 134.24 acres of submerged 

land.
