    l. Project Description: The Delhi Milldam Hydroelectric Project 
consists of the following existing facilities: (1) An existing 702-
foot-long and about 59-foot-high dam, with an 86-foot-long ogee type 
spillway and 25-foot-wide by 17-foot-high vertical sluice gates; (2) an 
existing 880-acre reservoir having a negligible storage capacity at 
elevation 892 feet mean sea level (msl); (3) a 61-foot-long by 
approximately 51-foot-wide powerhouse containing two inoperative open-
flume Francis turbines each with a maximum hydraulic capacity of 276 
cubic feet per second (cfs) and two generators each rated at 750 
kilowatts (kW) for a total installed capacity of 1500 kW; and (4) 
appurtenant facilities, such as, govenors and electric switchgear. No 
transmission line exists, although a commercial sub-station is located 
within 100 feet of the powerhouse. The dam and existing project 
facilities are owned by Lake Delhi Recreation Association, Inc.
    The Delhi Project will include refurbishing each of the existing 
turbine/generator sets. New govenors, electric switchgear, and controls 
will be installed, including a programmable control system which will 
automatically operate the project with capability of remote 
surveillance and operation. No civil work is proposed. The project's 
generating capacity will be 1500 kW and will generate an average of 
about 2.96 million kilowatt hours annually.
    m. A copy of the application is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket #''

State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), as required by Sec. 106, 
National Historic Preservation Act, and the regulations of the Advisory 
Council on Historic Preservation, 36 CFR 800.4.
