All documents (original and eight 

copies) should be filed with: Kimberly 

D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

k. This application has been accepted, 

but is not ready for environmental 

analysis at this time. 

l. As licensed, the existing Glendale 

Project consists of: (1) A 250-foot long, 

30-foot high concrete gravity dam with 

a 182-foot-long spillway; (2) a 23-acre 

reservoir; (3) two manually operated 10 

by 10-foot intake gates; (4) a 1,500-foot 

long, 40-foot wide intake canal; (5) a 

forebay structure and a 250-foot long, 

12-foot diameter steel penstock; (6) a 

powerhouse with four turbines with a 

combined installed capacity of 1,140- 

kilowatts; (7) a 300-foot long tailrace 

channel; (8) a step-up transformer and 

an 83-foot-long 13.8 kilovolt 

transmission line; and (9) appurtenant 

facilities. The Housatonic River reach 

that is bypassed by the project 

(measured from the gatehouse to the 

tailrace channel) is about 2,500 feet 

long. 

The proposed project would include a 

new 165-kW turbine unit in the waste 

gate slot located at the gatehouse 

adjacent to the project dam. This unit 

would operate off of a proposed 

minimum bypassed reach flow of 90 

cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow. In 

addition, the proposed project would 

provide additional recreational access 

through formal canoe portage facilities 

and parking. 

The applicant estimates that the total 

average annual generation, with the 

proposed additional turbine, would be 

5,800 megawatt-hours. The applicant 

proposes to continue to operate the 

project in run-of-river mode with an 

increase in minimum flow in the bypass 

reach from 10 cfs to 90 cfs or inflow, 

whichever is less. The purpose of the 

project is to produce electrical power for 

sale. 

m. 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

o. Scoping Process 

The Commission staff intends to

Hydroelectric Project in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act. The EA will consider both sitespecific and cumulative environmental 

impacts and reasonable alternatives to 

the proposed action. 

Commission staff does not propose to 

conduct any on-site scoping meetings at 

this time. Instead, we are soliciting 

comments, recommendations, and 

information, on the scoping document 

issued on August 22, 2008. 

Copies of the scoping document 

outlining the subject areas to be 

addressed in the EA were distributed to
