    l. The 21.3-foot-high, 294-foot-long Williams dam is currently 
owned by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and impounds a 
553-acre reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 472.2 North American 
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). In addition to the dam, the Williams 
Dam Water Power Project would consist of the following new facilities: 
(1) An 80-foot-long, 21.5-foot-high, 100-foot-wide intake structure 
with trashracks having 3-inch clear bar spacing; (2) a 126-foot-long, 
81-foot-wide powerhouse integral to the dam; (3) four turbine-generator 
units with a combined installed capacity of 4.0 megawatts; (4) a 40-
foot by 40-foot substation; (5) a 265-foot-long, three-phase, 12.5-
kilovolt overhead transmission line connecting the project's substation 
to local utility distribution lines; and (6) other appurtenant 
facilities.
    The proposed project would operate in a run-of-river mode and the 
water surface elevation of the impoundment would be maintained at the 
existing normal pool elevation (crest of the dam spillway) or above. 
The average annual generation would be about 17,850 megawatt-hours.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
