consist of the following features: (1) A screened intake structure 50 
feet long by 3 feet high with a 20-foot-wide spillway; (2) a 3.5-acre 
storage impoundment at elevation 1,088 feet mean sea level; (3) a 
6,000-foot-long, 22-inch-diameter steel and high-density polyethylene 
chloride penstock; (4) a 30- by 40-foot-long prefabricated metal 
powerhouse along the right bank of Wolf Creek, having a single 
horizontal twin-jet Pelton turbine with an installed capacity of 2.2 
megawatts; (5) a 150-foot-long, 10-foot-wide, by 6-foot-deep tailrace
