99852 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 11, 2024 / Notices

k. This application has been accepted, 

but is not ready for environmental 

analysis at this time. 

l. Project Description: The project 

consists of a 981-foot-long concrete 

dam, known as the Phoenix Dam, that 

includes: (1) an approximately 90-footlong, 55-foot-wide powerhouse that is 

integral with the dam and includes: (a) 

north and south intake openings with a 

trashrack with 1-inch clear bar spacing; 

and (b) two 1.59-megawatt (MW) 

vertical Kaplan turbine-generator units, 

for a total installed capacity of 3.18 MW; 

(2) a 25-foot-long section that includes 

a 10-foot-long debris sluice gate and a 7- 

foot-long sluice gate; (3) a 163-foot-long 

ogee spillway with 1-foot-high 

flashboards that have a crest elevation of 

362.42 feet North American Vertical 

Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88); (4) an 

approximately 206-foot-long section 

with four 46.5-foot-long Tainter gates; 

(5) a 390-foot-long ogee spillway with 1- 

foot-high flashboards that have a crest 

elevation of 362.42 feet NAVD 88; and 

(6) a 107-foot-long section with two 

41.5-foot-long Tainter gates. 

The 107-foot-long Tainter gate section 

of Phoenix Dam abuts Lock Island, 

which is a non-project feature that spans 

approximately 150 feet of the Oswego 

River. In addition, a non-project lock, 

known as the Phoenix Lock, spans 

approximately 45 feet of the Oswego 

River between Lock Island and the east 

shoreline of the Oswego River. Together, 

the Phoenix Dam, Lock Island, and 

Phoenix Lock create an impoundment 

that has a surface area of approximately 

1,400 acres at 362.42 feet NAVD 88. 

From the impoundment, water flows 

through the trashrack to a forebay, and 

then through the powerhouse. Water is 

discharged from the turbines to an 

approximately 120-foot-long tailrace 

that discharges to the Oswego River. 

The project includes a trap and 

transport facility for the upstream 

passage of American eel, including an 

eel ramp and eel collection box located 

approximately 160 feet downstream of 

the project dam on the west shoreline of 

the Oswego River. The project also 

includes a downstream fishway that 

consists of the 7-foot-long sluice gate 

and a 4.8-foot-deep concrete plunge 

pool. Additionally, the project includes 

an aluminum walkway that provides 

access to the 206-foot-long Tainter gate 

section of the dam. 

The project generators are connected 

to the regional electric grid by a 4.16/ 

34.5-kilovolt (kV) step-up transformer 

and a 230-foot-long, 34.5-kV 

underground transmission line. The 

minimum and maximum hydraulic 

capacities of the powerhouse are 500 

and 4,580 cubic feet per second (cfs), 

respectively. The average annual energy 

production of the project was 10,518 

megawatt-hours from 2016 through 

2023. 

The current license requires Oswego 

Hydro to operate the project in a run-ofriver mode and maintain a maximum 

impoundment surface elevation of 

362.42 feet NAVD88. Oswego Hydro 

currently maintains the surface 

elevation of the impoundment between 

361.92 feet and 362.42 feet NAVD 88. 

The current license also requires 

Oswego Hydro to: (1) release a yearround minimum flow of 300 cfs or 

inflow, whichever is less, to the Oswego 

River downstream of the project; and (2) 

when inflow is less than 1,900 cfs from 

June 1 through October 31, monitor 

water quality and, if average tailwater 

dissolved oxygen drops below 5 

milligrams per liter, provide mitigative 

flow releases for the protection of 

downstream water quality. Oswego 

Hydro provides upstream eel passage 

from June through October, using the 

trap and transport facility, and provides 

downstream fish passage year-round 

using the downstream fishway. 

Oswego Hydro proposes to continue 

operating the project in a run-of-river 

mode and maintaining the surface 

elevation of the impoundment at 361.92 

to 362.42 feet NAVD 88. Oswego Hydro 

proposes to continue releasing a yearround minimum flow of 300 cfs or 

inflow, whichever is less, to the Oswego 

River downstream of the project, but 

does not propose to continue water 

quality monitoring and mitigative flow 

releases when inflow is less than 1,900 

cfs from June 1 through October 31. In 

addition, Oswego Hydro proposes to 

continue operating and maintaining the 

trap and transport facility and the 

downstream fishway for eel and fish 

passage. Oswego Hydro proposes to 

develop a fish passage operation and 

maintenance plan, implement a Bat and 

Bald Eagle Protection Plan that it filed 

in the application, and maintain an 

existing interpretative display and 

fencing for the protection of historic 

properties.

o. Anyone may submit a protest or a 

motion to intervene in accordance with 

the requirements of Rules of Practice

Commission will consider all protests 

filed, but only those who file a motion 

to intervene in accordance with the 

Commission’s Rules may become a 

party to the proceeding. Any protests or 

motions to intervene must be received

for the particular application. 

All filings must (1) bear in all capital 

letters the title ‘‘PROTEST’’ or 

‘‘MOTION TO INTERVENE;’’ (2) set 

forth in the heading the name of the 

applicant and the project number of the 

application to which the filing 

responds; (3) furnish the name, address, 

and email address of the person 

protesting or intervening; and (4) 

otherwise comply with the requirements 

of 18 CFR 385.2001 through 385.2005. 

Agencies may obtain copies of the 

application directly from the applicant. 

A copy of any protest or motion to 

intervene must be served upon each 

representative of the applicant specified 

in the particular application.
