l. The project consists of: (1) A 1,218- 

foot-long concrete gravity and rock-fill 

dam composed of an abutment 

embankment, a spillway section, a 

center island, the old powerhouse 

section, the intermediate dam, and the 

new powerhouse; (2) a 12-mile-long 

1,525-acre reservoir with a normal 

maximum water surface elevation of 

2,314 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) 

twelve equal-width, concrete spillways 

with a capacity of 105,112 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) at reservoir elevation 2,318 

msl, divided into two sections (western 

and eastern)—the western section, 

contiguous with the abutment 

embankment, is a gated, concrete ogee 

section with eight radial gates, and the 

eastern section, which is adjacent to the 

island, contains four radial gates; (4) 

two concrete flow channels; (5) two pitbulb turbine generators with a 

nameplate rating of 25 MW; (6) a
