instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link. 

k. This application has been accepted 

for filing and is ready for environmental 

analysis. The Commission intends to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) on the project, in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. The EIS will 

consider both site-specific and 

cumulative environmental impacts and 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

action. 

l. The Project Description: The 

existing Smith Mountain Project 

consists of two developments; one used 

for pumped storage operation and the 

other conventional operation. 

The upper, pumped storage 

development, known as Smith 

Mountain, consists of: (1) A 816-footlong, 235-foot-high concrete arch dam, 

with a crest elevation of 812.0 feet 

National Geodetic Vertical Datum 

(NGVD); (2) two ogee-crest overflow 

spillways, each 100-feet-long and 

having a crest elevation of 595.0 feet 

NGVD [passing 25,000 cubic feet per 

second (cfs)]; (3) a reservoir with a 

surface area of 20,260 acres at a normal 

operating level of 795.0 feet NGVD; (4) 

a pump station/powerhouse containing 

five generating units, with a total 

capacity of 586 megawatts (MW), a total 

hydraulic capacity of 46,000 cfs, and an 

average annual generation of 476,640 

MWh (three of the units, which have a 

pumping capacity of 15,810 cfs, are 

reversible for pumping water from the 

Leesville’s reservoir to Smith 

Mountain’s reservoir); (5) a 600,000 

KVA substation and a double-circuit 

138-kV tie-in line to American Electric 

Power’s (AEP) interconnected system; 

and (6) appurtenant facilities. 

The lower, conventional 

development, known as Leesville, 

consists of: (1) A 980-foot-long, 94 foothigh concrete gravity dam, with a crest 

elevation of 615.67 feet NGVD; (2) a 

224-foot-long gated spillway section, 

with (a) a crest elevation of 578.0 feet 

NGVD, (b) four taintor gates, and (c) a 

hydraulic capacity of 175,100 cfs; (3) a 

reservoir with a surface area of 3,260 

acres at an elevation of 613.0 feet 

NGVD; (4) a powerhouse containing two 

generating units, with a total capacity of 

50 MW, a total hydraulic capacity of 

9,000 cfs, and an average annual 

generation of 59,376 MWh; (5) a 50,000 

KVA substation and a double-circuit 

138-kV tie-in line to AEP’s 

interconnected system; and (6) 

appurtenant facilities. 

The Smith Mountain development 

operates as a peaking/load-following 

facility, with generation occurring 

during peak demand periods and pumpback operation occurring during offpeak periods. Under normal operation, 

Smith Mountain Lake uses a 2-foot 

drawdown, which equates to a 13-foot 

fluctuation in Leesville Lake. Currently, 

Leesville is operated by auto-cycling the 

units, to provide a minimum average 

daily flow of 650 cfs to the Roanoke 

River downstream. Additional flow is 

provided during the spring spawning 

season for striped bass. 

Appalachian Power does not propose 

to modify existing operations, except as 

described in its proposed Water 

Management Plan. Appalachian also 

proposes to implement numerous 

environmental enhancement measures 

that are contained in its proposed 

resource-specific management plans. 

m. Location of the Application: A 

copy of the application is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov, using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
