7732 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Notices 

j. Description of Existing Facilities 

and Proposed Project: The proposed 

Summer Lake Pumped Storage Project 

would consist of an excavated upper 

reservoir and Summer Lake. The upper 

reservoir is located on FS lands and the 

lower reservoir is located on a 

combination of private, BLM and state 

lands. The upper reservoir proposed to 

be excavated on White Ridge is located 

at an elevation of approximately 6,890 

ft above sea level (ASL). The excavated 

reservoir would have a surface area of 

approximately 80 acres and a storage 

capacity of approximately 2,000 acrefeet. Summer Lake, which receives 

water from various springs and 

intermittent runoff streams, is located at 

elevation 4,145 ft ASL. Summer Lake 

has an approximate storage capacity of 

320,000 acre-ft. The upper excavated 

reservoir and Summer Lake would be 

connected by an 11,000-foot-long 

pipeline consisting of two 8-footdiameter steel pipes with a hydraulic 

capacity of approximately 700 cfs each. 

A powerhouse/pumphouse would be 

located near the shore of Summer Lake, 

containing two 128 MW generating 

units. A new 12-mile-long 128-kV 

transmission line would be constructed 

to interconnect the proposed project 

with an existing Bonneville Power 

Administration 500-kV, AC 

transmission line located north of 

Summer Lake. The project would have 

an average annual generation of 934.4 

GWH. 

k. Location of Applications: A copy of 

the application is available for 

inspection and reproduction at the 

Commission in the Public Reference 

Room or may be viewed on the 

Commission’s Web site at http://

j. Description of Existing Facilities 

and Proposed Project: The proposed 

project would consist of constructing a 

new powerhouse and appurtenant 

works at the site of the existing Cargill 

Falls Dam located at river mile 34 on the 

Quinebaug River. Flows would be 

diverted at the intake structure to the 

new powerhouse and returned to the 

river approximately 435 feet 

downstream via a new tailrace channel. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the existing dam and intake structure; 

new fish passage facilities; an existing 

underground water conduit; a new 

penstock; a new powerhouse with 

generating and control equipment; and 

a new tailrace and switchyard. The 

project would interconnect to the 

existing Connecticut Light and Power 

(CL&P) utility pole number 1192 via a 

new underground feed approximately 

300 feet long. The new feed would be 

located entirely on property controlled 

by Putnam Green Power LLC. 

Transmission would continue off-site 

via an existing 480-volt overhead 

transmission line and connect with the 

existing CL&P Putnam substation 

located directly across the river from the 

powerhouse. 

The existing dam consists of a 

concrete gravity overflow spillway 

section approximately 60-foot-long and 

5-foot-high and a gravity concrete gated 

spillway section approximately 85-footlong and 6-foot-high, separated by a 

natural rock outcrop about 70-foot-long. 

The project impoundment has a normal 

surface elevation of 253.4 feet above 

mean sea level (msl) and is 

approximately 2,000-foot-long, the 

width of the impoundment varies 

between 300 and 500 feet. The 

impoundment area is approximately 13 

acres, with an approximate storage 

capacity of 65 acre feet (at normal pool 

elevation of 253.4 feet msl). 

The existing intake structure is 

located at the south end of the dam, and 

consists of four concrete intake gates 3- 

foot-wide and 5-foot-high which are 

currently sealed by steel plates, a 

masonry forebay about 30-foot-long by 

30-foot-wide by 10-foot-deep, trash 

racks, and provisions for a new fish 

bypass facility. Putnam Green Power 

would modify the intake structure as 

required and install headgates to control 

flows to the powerhouse; repair the 

existing trashrack as necessary; and 

install fish passage facilities in 

consultation with the state and federal 

resource agencies. The existing 

underground conduit extends from the 

intake south under CT Route 44 for 

approximately 135 feet to the Cargill 

Mills complex where it bifurcates into 

two conduits, each leading to 

abandoned hydro-generating facilities. 

The underground conduit upstream of 

the bifurcation would be restored. The 

conduits downstream of the bifurcation 

would be replaced with a new single 

penstock, approximately 135-foot-long. 

The new powerhouse would be a 

concrete structure approximately 48- 

foot-long and 34-foot-wide. New 

generating equipment will be installed 

consisting of a single, vertical axis 

Kaplan turbine direct connected to a 

synchronous generator. The turbine 

would have a hydraulic capacity of 

approximately 940 cubic feet per second 

(cfs) and a nominal rating of 2 MW. The 

powerhouse would also contain 

auxiliary electrical and mechanical 

equipment and a fully automated digital 

control system. 

A new concrete tailrace 

approximately 30-foot-long by 20-footwide would return water to the 

Quinebaug River. A new switchyard 

would be located adjacent to the power 

house. The switchyard would include a 

new generator step-up transformer, 

switchgear and metering equipment. 

Interconnection would be via an 

existing overhead line to the CL&P 

Putnam substation located directly 

across the river. The turbine would have 

a nominal rating of 2 MW at a net head 

of 28-feet. Average annual energy 

production is estimated to be 

approximately 9.2 GWH.
