k. Description of Project Facilities: The project utilizes three
existing water supply conduits carrying water from an existing
diversion dam and consists of: (1) A powerhouse containing six pump-
turbines with a total installed capacity of 4500 kW; and (2) a
switchyard.
l. Description of Request: The licensee is proposing to surrender
its exemption. The project only operated for 10 test days in 1985. The
project never received the water rights from the Oregon Department of
Water Resources to operate a hydroelectric facility. The project is not
allowed to operate and the exemptee has removed the ability to generate
hydroelectricity from its control system. The facilities would remain
in its current condition because all of the equipment is necessary for
operating the existing water supply system.
