                    *The proposed project facilities include:*
                     (1) A new 109-foot-high roller compacted concrete dam and spillway creating a new 4.5-mile-long reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 12,467 acre feet; (2) a 48-foot-long, 16-foot-wide, and 20-foot-high concrete intake structure near the upstream toe of the dam; (3) a 14-foot-diameter, 600-foot-long steel penstock; (3) an 80-foot-long, 52-foot-wide, and 24-foot-high powerhouse containing two, 5-megawatt vertical Francis turbines with a combined maximum hydraulic capacity of 1,400 cubic feet per second (cfs); (4) a 0.74-mile, 46-kilovolt transmission line connecting a proposed substation near the base of the powerhouse to an existing, PacifiCorp-owned transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. Except for irrigation withdrawals during dry years, Twin Lakes proposes to operate in the project run-of-river, with daily releases from the new reservoir matching releases from the upstream Oneida Project (FERC No. 20). During dry water years, Twin Lakes proposes to release additional water for irrigation purposes but maintain a minimum flow downstream of the proposed project equal to the minimum flow requirement at the upstream Oneida Project (a year-round minimum flow of 250 cfs plus 1 cfs for leakage or inflow into Oneida reservoir, whichever is less). Twin Lakes estimates that the average annual generation would be about 48,531 megawatt-hours.
