submersible Flygt turbine-generator units located outside of the powerhouse;
5 an approximately 55-foot-long, 40foot-wide tailrace; 6 a 200-foot-long transmission line and a 33.5-kilovolt transformer that connects the generators to the electric grid; 7 an Atlantic salmon smolt bypass facility consisting of an 85-foot-long, 20-inch diameter cast iron pipe that empties into an 3.5-footdeep plunge pool approximately 15 feet downstream of the dam; and 8

The current license requires: 1
Inflow to be discharged over the spillway to the bypassed reach during periods of non-generation or when inflow is less than 25 cfs; 2 a minimum flow of 4.5 cfs through the Atlantic salmon smolt bypass facility during periods of generation or when inflow is greater than 25 cfs; and 3
operation of the smolt bypass facility from mid-April to mid-June. The average annual generation of the project is currently approximately 1,170
megawatt-hours MWh.
MRPA proposes to: 1 Continue operating the project in a run-of-release mode; 2 replace one of the 236-kW
Flygt turbine-generator units with a new 340-kW Flygt turbine-generator unit, for a total installed capacity of 743 kW at the project; 2 release a minimum flow of 29 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, over the dam to the bypassed reach; and 3 close the existing smolt bypass facility. MRPA estimates that the average annual generation of the proposed project will be approximately 1,900 MWh.
