The proposed project would consist of:
(1)An existing 11.3-foot-high, 171-foot-long wooden dam, owned by Spartanburg;
(2)a reservoir with a surface area of 11.69 acres and a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet;
(3)a 130-foot-long, 12-foot-wide concrete headrace channel;
(4)a powerhouse containing one generating unit with a total capacity of 150.0 kilowatts (kW);
(5)a 70-foot-long, 10-foot-wide bedrock tailrace structure; and
(6)a 450-foot-long, 12 kilo-volt
(KV)transmission line. The project would have an estimated average annual generation of 770.0 megawatt-hours
(MWh)and the project power would be sold. *Applicant Contact:* Ms. Sue Schneider, General Manager, Spartanburg Water, 200 Commerce Street, P.O. Box 251, Spartanburg, South Carolina 29304.
