k. This application has been accepted 

and is ready for environmental analysis 

at this time. 

l. The project facilities consist of: (1) 

a 450-foot-long and 13-foot-high dam, 

constructed of rock-filled timber cribs 

encased in concrete, with a 350-footlong spillway and an average dam crest 

elevation of 698.63 feet; 2 (2) an 

approximately 25-acre reservoir with a 

gross storage capacity of 200 acre-feet at 

normal water surface elevation of 698.78 

feet; (3) a short entrance channel 

excavated in rock near the left dam 

abutment that directs water to an intake 

structure with 17-foot-wide trashracks 

with 5-inch clear bar spacing; (4) a 52- 

foot-long by 46-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse; (5) two double-regulated 

open-pit type turbine-generator units 

each rated at 2,500 kilowatts (kW) for a 

total installed capacity of 5,000 kW; (6) 

an approximately 230-foot-long tailrace, 

excavated in rock at a normal tailwater 

elevation of 681.17 feet; (7) a 500-footlong, 23-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 

owned by Duquesne Light Company; (8) 

4.16-kV generator leads, a 60-foot-long 

section of 5-kV underground cable 

leading to a 4.16/23-kV transformer in 

an outdoor substation; and (9) 

appurtenant facilities. The average 

annual generation was 19,524 megawatthours for the period from 2015 to 2019. 

The Townsend Project operates in a 

run-of-river mode with a continuous 

minimum flow of 304 cubic feet per 

second (cfs), or inflow, whichever is 

less, conveyed to the bypassed reach for 

the protection of aquatic resources. The 

flow for operating a single unit is 600 

cfs and minimum river flow for the 

project operation is 904 cfs. There is 

minimal to no available usable storage 

behind the dam and if river flow is less 

than 904 cfs, all water is spilled over the 

dam. The project is typically operated 

automatically, but manual operation 

may occur during dynamic high-water 

events. The project is returned to 

automatic operation when flow 

decreases.

Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: you can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on February 10, 2025. 

How to file protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is explained 

below. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

Protests 

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is February 

10, 2025. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 4 and the regulations under 

the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is February 10, 

2025. As described further in Rule 214, 

your motion to intervene must state, to 

the extent known, your position 

regarding the proceeding, as well as 

your interest in the proceeding. For an 

individual, this could include your 

status as a landowner, ratepayer, 

resident of an impacted community, or 

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic)
