    l. Description of Project: The existing, operating Silver Lake 
Project consists of three separate developments: (1) the Sugar Hill 
storage reservoir; (2) the Sucker Brook diversion facility; and (3) the 
Silver Lake dam, reservoir, and powerhouse.
    The Sugar Hill reservoir, created by the Goshen Dam, has a surface 
area of 74 acres and a gross storage capacity of 1,590 acre-feet at the 
normal surface elevation of 1,768 feet United States Geological Survey 
(USGS) datum. The Goshen Dam consists of an earthfill embankment 
section, about 680 feet long with a maximum height of 60 feet, and a 
spillway with a crest elevation of 1,768 feet (USGS) composed of two 
sections. The eastern section, about 50 feet long, is constructed of 
mortared rubble and capped with reinforced concrete; the western 
section is about 100 feet long, and is constructed of reinforced 
concrete, with wooden trash racks and a concrete gate. A square, 
reinforced concrete conduit (4 feet by 4 feet), 12 inches thick, and 
about 232 feet long, conveys water from an intake structure through the 
embankment to the outlet structure. The reinforced concrete outlet 
structure is controlled by five gate valves (with two 6-inch, two 8-
inch, and one 10-inch diameter valves) and discharges into Sucker 
Brook.
    The Sucker Brook diversion dam creates an impoundment with a 
surface area of about 2 acres and a gross storage capacity of 20 acre-
feet at the maximum surface elevation of 1,312 feet USGS. At the normal 
pond elevation of 1,288 feet USGS, the surface area of the impoundment 
is less than a quarter of an acre, resulting in about 1 acre-foot of 
storage volume. The dam consists of an earth embankment, approximately 
665 feet long with a maximum height of 38 feet; the spillway consists 
of a 60-foot-long concrete weir. An intake structure contains a 
manually operated timber headgate with trash racks. A penstock with a 
diameter ranging from 36 inches at the intake structure to 42 inches at 
the outfall extends 7,000 feet from the Sucker Brook diversion dam to 
Silver Lake, with sections comprised of corrugated metal, wood stave, 
and concrete pipe.
    The Silver Lake portion of the project consists of a reservoir with 
a surface area of 110 acres and a gross storage volume of 3,120 acre-
feet at the normal surface elevation of 1,250 feet USGS. The dam 
consists of a buttressed concrete wall section with earthfill on the 
upstream and downstream sides of the wall. The dam is approximately 257 
feet long with a maximum height of 30 feet. The intake is a reinforced 
concrete structure with trash racks. There is a 60-foot-long conduit 
that conveys water from the intake structure into the outlet structure, 
which is also reinforced concrete topped with a wooden superstructure, 
containing an electrically operated slide gate. A penstock extends 
about 5,200 feet from the Silver Lake outlet structure to the 
powerhouse. It is constructed of fiberglass (2,400 feet), wood stave 
(100 feet), and steel (2,400 feet), with a surge tank located between 
the wood stave section and the steel section. The penstock diameter 
ranges from 48 inches at the intake structure to 36 inches at the surge 
tank. 

[[Page 8055]]

    The project powerhouse is about 47 feet by 67 feet, with a concrete 
substructure and a brick superstructure, containing: a single 
horizontal Francis turbine, rated at 3,000 horsepower (hp), with a 
maximum hydraulic capacity of 60 cubic feet per second (cfs), which 
operates with a net head of 645 feet; a horizontal shaft generator, 
rated 2,750 kilovolt-ampere (kVA); and appurtenant facilities. The 
project's 2,200-kilowatt generator produces an average annual 
generation of 6,443,000 kilowatt-hours.
    m. Purpose of Project: Project power is distributed to customers of 
the Central Vermont Public Service Corporation.
