containing a 750-kilowatt Pelton turbine and 750-kilowatt generator; 
(4) a new 6.7-mile-long, 12.5-kilovolt electric transmission line; and 
(5) appurtenant facilities. The project would produce an estimated

long steel and plastic penstock to the powerhouse. After passing 
through the powerhouse, the water would be used for irrigation.
