Project, to be located on the Great Cohas Brook, in Hillsborough 
County, New Hampshire.
    The proposed Goffs Falls Dam Project would be located along the 
Great Cohas Brook channel below the existing outlet works at an 
existing dam owned by the City of Manchester, New Hampshire. The 
existing dam, which impounds the Great Cohas Brook, is 150 feet long 
and 19 feet high and includes a 75-foot-long spillway and a 4 foot by 9 
foot low level sluice gate. The impoundment encompasses about 54 
surface acres.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) A newly constructed 
powerhouse below the existing outlet works; (2) a 260-foot-long to 
1,060-foot-long penstock; (3) two submersible or tubular-type turbine-
generators with a total hydraulic capacity of 246 cubic feet per second 
and a total installed generating capacity of between 0.265 megawatts 
(MW) and .585 MW; (4) a newly excavated 125-foot-long tailrace; (5) 
between an approximately 150-foot-long to 750-foot-long transmission 
line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The Goffs Falls Dam Project would 
have an estimated average annual generation of between 850 megawatts-
hours (MWh) and 1,850 MWh, which would be sold to Public Service of New 
Hampshire.
