n. Project Description: The existing 

Watson Dam Project consists of: (1) A 

296.75-foot-long, 12-foot-high concrete 

gravity dam that includes the following 

sections: (i) A 54-foot-long right 

abutment; (ii) a 111-foot-long right 

spillway section with 24-inch-high 

flashboards and a crest elevation of 

110.6 feet mean sea level (msl) at the top 

of the flashboards; (iii) an 11.5-footlong, 11.25-foot-wide concrete spillway 

center pier; (iv) an 80-foot-long left 

spillway section with 24-inch-high 

flashboards and a crest elevation of 

110.6 feet msl at the top of the 

flashboards; and (v) a 29-foot-long left 

abutment; (2) an impoundment with a 

surface area of 54 acres and a storage 

capacity of 300 acre-feet at an elevation 

of 110.6 feet msl; (3) a 29-foot-long, 10- 

foot-high intake structure in the left 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Notices 51665 

abutment that is equipped with a 

headgate and trashrack with 2-inch clear 

bar spacing; (4) a 26-foot-long, 22-footwide wood and steel powerhouse 

containing one 265-kilowatt vertical 

Flygt submersible turbine-generator 

unit; (5) a 400-foot-long, 20-foot-wide 

tailrace that discharges into the Cocheco 

River; (6) a generator lead, transformer, 

and transmission line that connect the 

project to the local utility distribution 

system; and (7) appurtenant facilities. 

Watson Associates voluntarily 

operates the project in a run-of-river 

mode using an automatic pond level 

control system to regulate turbine 

operation, such that outflow from the 

project approximates inflow. The 

project creates an approximately 250- 

foot-long and a 400-foot-long bifurcated 

bypassed reaches of the Cocheco River. 

Downstream fish passage is provided 

by a bypass pipe located on the left side 

of the dam. There is no upstream fish 

passage facility at the project. 

The current license requires a 

minimum flow release of 83 cubic feet 

per second (cfs), or inflow to the 

impoundment, whichever is less from 

the dam to protect and enhance aquatic 

resources in the Cocheco River. The 

average annual generation of the project 

is approximately 1,100 megawatt-hours. 

o. In addition to publishing the full 

text of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the Commission provides all 

interested persons an opportunity to
