j. Deadline Date: See Standard Paragraph D10.
k. Status of Environmental Analysis: This application has been
accepted for filing and is ready for environmental analysis at this
time.
l. Description of Project: The Bond Falls Project consists of four
developments on the Middle, Cisco (South), and West Branches Ontonagon
River. The Ontonagon River system flows north through the western end
of Michigan's Upper Peninsula and into western Lake Superior. The
project developments are located in Ontonagon and Gogebic Counties,
Michigan, and a small portion of northern Vilas County, Wisconsin.
Each project development consists of a storage reservoir or lake, a
main dam or dams, and appurtenant facilities. The four project water
bodies are Bond Falls flowage, lake Gogebic (Bergland development),
Cisco Chain of Lakes, and Victoria reservoir. The Bond Falls, Bergland,
and Cisco developments provide seasonal reservoir storage and diversion
of river flow to the Victoria development, where the flow is used to
generate power.
Bond Falls Development
The Bond Falls development is located on the Middle Branch
Ontonagon River about 40 river miles up-stream of the mouth of the
Ontonagon River. The applicant operates the development seasonally to
store water and to divert river flow from the Middle Branch to the
South Branch, which eventually flows into the West Branch, where the
discharge is used for hydroelectric generation at the Victoria
development. Without the diversion, all flow from the Middle Branch
would join the West Branch down-stream of the Victoria development and
would be unavailable for power production.
The principal features of the Bond Falls development are the
reservoir (Bond Falls flowage), the main dam, the control dam, and the
diversion canal. The reservoir has a maximum surface area of 2,160
acres, a maximum operating elevation of 1,475.9 feet above mean sea
level, and an effective storage capacity of 39,000 acre-feet at a draw-
down of 20 feet.
The main dam consists of an earth-fill embankment about 45 feet
high and 900 feet long with a sheet pile corewall and a concrete
overflow spillway (crest elevation of 1,462.9 feet) with discharge
controlled by a steel radial crest gate (13 feet high by 26 feet wide).
Spillway discharge is conveyed by a concrete and rock bottom channel to
the river, several hundred feet down-stream of the dam. The bypass
system releases flows through the main dam to the Middle Branch. The
bypass system consists of a
[[Page 33505]]
concrete intake (7.5 feet high by 5.0 feet wide) equipped with a trash
rack (0.5-inch bars on 4.5-inch centers), concrete intake conduit (2.75
feet high by 2.5 feet wide), gate well and house, two 24- inch-diameter
discharge pipes, and receiving basins. A rectangular weir monitors
down-stream releases.
The control dam consists of an earth-fill embankment about 35 feet
high and 850 feet long with a steel sheet pile corewall. The crest is
20 feet wide at an elevation of 1,481.9 feet. The control works consist
of a concrete intake (13.8 feet high by 10 feet wide) equipped with a
trash rack, a concrete intake pipe (5.5 feet in diameter), a gate well,
5-foot-diameter discharge pipe, and concrete receiving basin. Discharge
is regulated electrically or manually by a 5-foot-square steel slide
gate and is measured by a USGS gage located down-stream in the
diversion canal.
The reservoir rim contains three other earth-fill dikes. The
largest (the auxiliary dike) is located a few hundred feet southwest of
the main dam, is similar in design to the main and control dams, and
acts as a fuse-plug spillway during extreme floods. The auxiliary dike
is 15 feet high by 250 feet long, with a crest elevation of 1479.4 feet
and a crest width of 35 feet. The two smaller dikes are 5 feet high,
with crest elevations of 1481.9 feet. One is located just south of the
auxiliary dike, and the other is located southeast of the control dam
between the reservoir and a seepage pond above nearby Sand Lake.
The diversion canal, which is 20 feet wide and 7,500 feet long,
discharges to Roselawn Creek, a tributary of the South Branch. There
are two concrete drop structures at separate locations along the canal
with drops of 41 and 57 feet. Riprap protection is provided up-stream
and down-stream of the drop structures. The remaining canal banks and
the bottom are earth-lined.
Bergland Development
The Bergland development is on the West Branch Ontonagon River at
river mile 55. The down-stream Victoria development uses releases from
Lake Gogebic for power generation. Bergland dam controls the top 4 feet
of Lake Gogebic, which has a maximum reservoir area of 14,080 acres, a
maximum operating elevation of 1296.2 feet, and an effective storage
capacity of 28,200 acre-feet at a draw-down of 2 feet. The dam is 4
feet high by 179 feet long.
There are 24 bays, 7 feet wide each, consisting of a series of
wooden planks stacked between steel I-beams.
Cisco Development
The Cisco development consists of the Cisco Chain of Lakes, on the
Cisco Branch Ontonagon River at river mile 75. The down-stream Victoria
development uses releases from the Cisco dam for power generation. The
dam is a timber-decked concrete level control structure 11 feet high by
21 feet long. Flow through the dam is controlled manually by placing or
removing wooden planks in either of the two 6-foot, 8.5-inch-wide
concrete bays. The Chain of Lakes has a maximum area of 4,025 acres, a
maximum operating elevation of 1683.51 feet, and an effective storage
capacity of 4,025 acre-feet at a 1-foot draw-down.
Victoria Development
The Victoria development is on the West Branch Ontonagon River at
river mile 18 and consists of the Victoria dam and reservoir; a 6,300-
foot above-ground pipeline, surge tank, and penstock; a powerhouse and
tailrace; and two 69-kV transmission lines. The dam impounds streamflow
of the West Branch, which receives tributary inflow from the up-stream
Cisco and South Branches, and delivers flow to the powerhouse through
the pipeline and penstock. The spillway regulates releases to the 1.5-
mile-long bypassed reach of the West Branch.
The original Victoria dam consisted of a 113-foot-high concrete
multiple arch-buttress dam. This structure was replaced in 1991 with a
roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam constructed 15 feet down-
stream. The original dam remains in place with the upper portion
removed.
Based on revised license application drawings filed by the
applicant, the new RCC dam is 301 feet long and ties to the original
gated spillway to the south and the original intake structure to the
north. The new dam contains an ungated spillway section, a low level
outlet pipe and control gate, and a small drain pipe that discharges to
a stilling basin in front of the dam. Total width of the new dam, gated
spillway, intake, and embankments is 675.5 feet. Reservoir elevation,
pipeline intake and spillway configurations, and project operations are
virtually unchanged from those of the original dam. Maximum reservoir
surface area is 250 acres, maximum operating elevation is 910 feet, and
effective storage capacity is 3,300 acre-feet at a draw-down of 14
feet.
The Victoria gated spillway consists of four ogee-type concrete
bays, each 22 feet wide (crest elevation 898 feet), equipped with a
steel radial gate (22 feet wide by 13 feet high) that is raised and
lowered by an electrically operated traveling hoist mounted on 6 steel
beams. A 4-foot-wide steel-grating walkway provides access across the
top of the spillway at an elevation of 918 feet. Spillway discharge
flows through a concrete-lined channel before falling 75 feet off the
spillway escarpment into the natural stream channel below.
The reinforced concrete intake structure to the pipeline consists
of sloping rectangular intakes (10 feet wide by 21.5 feet high)
equipped with steel trash racks (0.5-inch bars on 3.75-inch centers).
The structure includes an intake gate slot, vent well, and steel-lined
concrete transition. The intake superstructure houses a 14-foot-wide by
14.25-foot-high riveted steel intake gate and 40-ton electronically
operated fixed gate hoist, air compressors, instrumentation,
communication equipment, and miscellaneous other equipment.
The 10-foot-diameter woodstave above-ground pipeline terminates
near the powerhouse at a 32-foot-diameter steel surge tank with a
height of 120 feet and a capacity of 491,300 gallons. A 10-foot-
diameter steel penstock slopes steeply from the surge tank and splits
into two 7-foot-diameter pipes before entering the powerhouse. The
powerhouse is 30 feet wide, 82 feet long, and 50 feet high above the
generating floor. It contains two 6-MW Francis-type vertical shaft
turbine-generator units. Each unit is rated at 9,300 hp at 210 feet
head and 300 rpm.
The license application also listed two 69-kV transmission lines as
part of the project facilities; however, the applicant filed an
application for amendment of the license on April 26, 1991 requesting
that these lines be excluded from the project because they do not
function as ``primary lines,'' as defined in Section 3(11) of the
Federal Power Act. The Commission issued an order amending the license
on December 9, 1991, which approved this request.
m. Purpose of Project: Project power would be utilized by the
applicant for sale to its customers.
