k. Description of Amendment: APC

proposes to refurbish and upgrade three

of the four existing turbine-generator

units at Martin Dam powerhouse. The

project’s fourth unit, a 552.-megawatt

(MW) facility installed in 1952, would

not be involved.

Specifically, APC proposes to

rehabilitate the three 75-year-old,

33-MW units by installing in each the

following new components/systems: a

modern-design turbine runner; wicket

gate; greaseless bushings for the gate

operating system; stainless steel sleeves

on the turbine shafts; thrust bearing oil

coolers; and wedging system for the

generator stator coils. In addition, the

licensee proposes to re-insulate the

generator rotor pole pieces, and to clean

the paint all turbine and generator

components.

The proposed measures would

increase: (1) the generating capacity of

each of the three rehabilitated units by

7 to 10 MW; and (2) the combined

hydraulic capacity of the three

rehabilitated turbines by 900 cubic feet

per second (cfs) or by 8.6 percent—from

10,470 cfs currently to 11,370 cfs.

l. Locations of the Application: A
