and a 25,000-acre-foot storage capacity at water surface elevation 680 
feet MSL, created by a 225-foot-high, 10,000-foot-long dam, a 95-foot-
high, 700-foot-long dike, and a 35-foot-high, 1300-foot-long dike; (2) 
a submerged intake structure; (3) a 45-foot-diameter vertical shaft and 
a horizontal tunnel trifurcating into three 20-foot-diameter steel-
lined conduits; (4) an underground powerhouse containing three 
reversible pump-turbine units rated at 300- MW each operated at a 450-
foot head; (5) a 1,500-foot-long powerhouse access tunnel and a 20-
foot-diameter vent and cable shaft; (6) three concrete-lined conduits 
leading to an outlet structure at the lower reservoir separate from the 
main body of Lake Clarke; (7) an above-ground switchyard; (8) a three-
mile-long transmission line; and (9) appurtenant facilities. Lake 
Clarke, an existing reservoir formed by the Safe Harbor Dam (FERC

would be $3,000,000. Project energy would be purchased from and sold to 
local utilities. A portion of the proposed project boundary for Project 
No. 11481-000 lies within the approved project boundary for licensed 
project No. 1025. However, the proposed project facilities could be 
mutually compatible.
