The project as originally licensed in 1999 included a powerhouse containing two vertical Kaplan generating units with a total capacity of 3,400 kW to be located in the basement of the historic Crown Roller Building on the west side of West River Parkway. Crown is now proposing to construct a powerhouse containing two vertical Kaplan generating units with a total capacity of 3,150 kW, on the east side of the West River Parkway, within the footprint of the remains of the Holly and Cataract Mill Foundation. The relocated powerhouse would be designed as an at-grade structure with two stairwells that would have above ground fencing, located within the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's property, at the Mill Ruins Park. Resources affected by this proposed amendment include cultural and aquatics.
