l. The proposed project would use the water from two existing
irrigation diversions from Little Timber Creek, and would consist of
the following new facilities: (1) A new intake structure and fish
screen; (2) a new 26,700-foot-long penstock; (3) a powerhouse
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
2,200 megawatt-hours annually.
The proposed project would use water that currently flows into two
unlined irrigation ditches that divert water from Little Timber Creek.
The project would combine those two diversions into a single diversion
at a new screened intake. The location of the new intake structure
would be at the same location as the most downstream ditch diversion.
Water would flow through the new intake structure into a 26,700-foot-
long steel and plastic penstock to the powerhouse. After passing
through the powerhouse, the water would be used for irrigation.
