foot-long, 140-foot-wide intake channel; (2) four 10-foot-diameter, 60-
foot-long steel siphon penstocks, near the south abutment of the Corps' 
dam; (3) a 80-foot-long, 40-foot-wide powerhouse containing four 
generating units with a total capacity of 9.2 megawatts; (4) a 100-
foot-long, 140-foot-wide tailrace; and (5) a 0.9-mile-long, 34.5kV 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an
