a. Type of Application: New Major 

License. 

b. Project No.: 739–022. 

c. Date Filed: June 29, 2009. 

d. Applicant: Appalachian Power 

Company. 

e. Name of Project: Claytor Project. 

f. Location: On the New River in 

Pulaski County, Virginia. The project 

does not affect Federal lands. 

g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power 

Act 16 U.S.C. 791 (a)–825(r). 

h. Applicant Contact: Ms. Teresa 

Rogers, Reservoir Superintendent, 

Appalachian Power Company, 40 

Franklin Road, Roanoke, VA 24011, 

(540) 985–2441, tprogers@aep.com. 

i. FERC Contact: John Smith, (202) 

502–8972 or john.smith@ferc.gov. 

j. This application is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

k. The Project Description: The 

Claytor Project consists of: (1) A 1,142- 

foot-long, 137-foot-high concrete gravity 

dam; (2) a 4,472-acre reservoir with a 

storage capacity of 225,000 acre-feet at 

normal pool elevation 1,846.0 feet 

National Geodetic Vertical Datum 

(NGVD); (3) four 16-foot-diameter 

penstocks; (4) a powerhouse integral 

with the dam containing four generating 

units with a combined capacity of 75 

megawatts; (5) a 1,000-foot-long 

transmission line; and (6) switching and 

appurtenant equipment. 

The applicant proposes to expand its 

current levelized flow mode whereby 

releases from the project approximate 

inflows to the project over a 24-hour 

period from April 15 through October 

15 to April 1 through November 30. 

Reservoir levels would continue to be 

maintained between 1,845 feet NGVD 

and 1,846 feet NGVD and a minimum 

average hourly flow of 750 cubic feet 

per second (cfs), or inflow, whichever is 

less, would be provided downstream of 

the project. The applicant would also 

modify the current period for peaking 

operations from October 16 through 

April 14 to December 1 through March 

31 and increase its minimum average 

hourly downstream flow from 750 cfs to 

1,000 cfs, or inflow, whichever is less. 

During this period, the applicant would 

extend the time to ramp down during 

peaking operations from 15 minutes to 

30 minutes but continue to bring units 

on line in 15-minute intervals to meet 

system demands. Reservoir levels would 

be maintained between 1,844 feet NGVD 

and 1,846 feet NGVD. In addition, the 

applicant would eliminate the current 

winter drawdown to protect aquatic 

resources including state-listed mussel 

populations. For recreation purposes, 

the applicant is proposing to provide 

weekend releases of 1,000 cfs when 

inflow falls below 1,000 cfs but is above 

800 cfs and would provide recreation 

releases for the annual squirt boat 

competition each May.
