licensee proposes to rehabilitate the three existing Francis generating
units, rather than replace them with new Kaplan generating units. The
work will include replacing the runners, rewinding the existing
generators, and modernizing the electrical and communications equipment
at the project. The total plant generating capacity would be reduced
from the authorized 10,800 kW to about 7,000 kW. The maximum discharge
would be reduced from 6,000 cfs to about 4,700 cfs. The licensee states
in its filing that no major modifications will be performed on the
powerhouse. The licensee is not proposing any changes to project
operation, water levels or license mitigation requirements in its
amendment application.
