Great Falls Hydroelectric Project (P- 2814) Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project (P- 2814) Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) AIRS & Deficiencies Response Prepared By: Prepared For: Young Energy Services AUGUST 2019 FERC AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project: P-2814 DEFICIENCIES Exhibit B 1. Section 4.51 (c) of the Commission’s regulations requires a tailwater rating and a curve showing power plant capability versus head and specifying maximum, normal, and minimum heads. Please provide these curves for the project. Response: The available curves are provided below. Minimum head, corresponding to the crest elevation of the S.U.M. dam is 114.60 feet mean sea level (msl) or 71.37 feet of head. Normal operating head, corresponding to the top of flashboards installed on the S.U.M. dam is 116.85 feet msl or 73.62 feet of head. Maximum head, corresponding to flashboard height at failure (i.e., two feet of overtopping) is 118.85 feet msl or 75.62 feet of head. Additionally, maximum head, corresponding to the plant intake and retaining walls is 124.0 feet msl (80.77 feet of head). As noted on the Spillway Discharge Curve (without flashboards) figure, a critical elevation of 122.0 feet msl (78.77 feet of head) has been identified based on flooding of upstream infrastructure.

The Exhibit F drawings provided for the Great Falls Hydroelectric Project (Great Falls Project or project.) do not meet the requirements of section 4.51(g) (which refers to section 4.41(g)) of the Commission’s regulations. The drawings must show all major project structures in sufficient detail to provide a full understanding of the project. Thus, please provide a new plan view drawing of the existing powerhouse that shows the three penstocks, turbines/generators, and draft tubes; and the fish passage facility. Response: Figures 5 and 6 present revised drawings prepared for FERC. FIGURES 5 AND 6 ARE BEING FILED SEPARATELY CUI//CEII 5 FERC AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project: P-2814 3. Section 4.51(g) (which refers to section 4.41(g)) of the Commission’s regulations requires that an applicant provide a supporting design report (SDR). Therefore, you must provide the following information (filed as Critical Energy Infrastructure Information or CEII) for the Great Falls Project: (1) a stability analysis of the project’s dam structures under all loading conditions, in accordance with the Commission’s Engineering Guidelines, which must include copies of any existing boring logs, geology reports, laboratory test reports, and other references used to justify the foundation shear strength parameters used in the stability analysis; and (2) a justification for the 100-year flood discharge and water surface elevation at the Great Falls Project, since the project must be able to safely pass at least the 100-year flood. Response: A time extension has been requested in order to complete this item. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTS Exhibit A 4. Please provide a narrative description of the existing project boundary, including how the boundary is determined (i.e., high water mark, boundary lines, metes and bounds, etc.). In addition, on page A-7 of the final license application (FLA), you propose to remove the Great Falls from the project boundary. So that staff can properly analyze this proposal, please clarify how much acreage you propose to remove from the project boundary and an explanation as to why the land proposed for removal is not needed for the operation and maintenance of the project or for other project purposes, such as recreation, shoreline control, or protection of environmental resources. Response: The existing boundary is a combination of an elevation-based reservoir and a metes and bounds description around the Great Falls area. It is proposed that 7.08 acres be removed from the project. The area to be removed is shaded in Figure 7 and detailed in Figure 8. The land removed from the boundary is to be maintained by the City and the National Park Service (NPS) as protected lands for recreation and other purposes. The land downstream of the S.U.M. Dam is not needed for energy production or maintenance of the project. It is appropriate that through the new license, FERC stipulate the minimum flow over the Dam, as is presently done through License Article 27. Minimum flow(s), and ambient flow above the hydraulic capacity of the powerhouse, pass over the S.U.M. dam and then automatically discharge over the Great Falls. 8 FERC AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project: P-2814 Other project purposes, such as recreation and shoreline protection within the reservoir area, will be controlled by FERC and maintained by the Licensee under the new license. The Great Falls will be maintained by the City of Paterson or the NPS. 9 FERC AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project: P-2814 FIGURE 7: Proposed Project Boundary Proposed 7.08 Acres to be ± Removed from Project Boundary 114.69Total Area of 1985 Previous Project Boundary in Acres 107.60Total Area of 2019 Current Project Boundary in Acres 7.08Total Area of Great Falls Removed from 1985 Project Boundary Legend Extent Orginal of 1985 Project Boundary Great Falls Area Being Removed From Orginal Project Boundary Extent of 2019 Project Boundary 0 0.5 1 Miles Sources: Esri, HERE, DeLorme, TomTom, Intermap, increment P Corp., GEBCO, USGS, FAO, NPS, NRCAN, GeoBase, IGN, Kadaster NL, Ordnance Survey, Esri Japan, METI, Esri China (Hong Kong), swisstopo, MapmyIndia, © OpenStreetMap contributors, and the GIS User Community 10 FERC AIRS & Deficiencies Response Great Falls Hydroelectric Project: P-2814 FIGURE 8: Detail of Area to Be Removed from Project Boundary THIS PLAN IS HEREBY APPROVED BY THE PASSAIC COUNTY PLANNING BOARD SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS, AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BY THE DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY BLOCK 4601, LOT 1 PASSAIC COUNTY PLANNING BOARD.
