    k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to replace the 
project's two authorized 26-megawatt (MW) turbine-generator units with 
six 8.1-MW turbine-generator units. The proposed action would reduce 
the total authorized installed capacity of the project from 52.0 to 
48.6 MW, and the hydraulic capacity from 33,200 to 29,658 cubic feet 
per second. To accommodate the change from two to six units, the 
applicant proposes to increase the size of the powerhouse from 214 feet 
long by 112 feet wide, to 133 feet long by 236 feet wide, and raise the 
foundation from an elevation of -20 feet to +3 feet, which it states 
will pose less of a construction risk. The applicant does not propose 
changes to any other aspects of the project.
