The Clyde River besin at the project site has a watmshed mea of aq~proximately 108 squm-e miles.

The Project consists of the following existing facilities: (1) a 77-font-lm~ 24-foot-high mammy and concrete gravity dam; (2) 1.5-font-high wooden ~ extending acmes the c o n c ~ spillway; (3) a 187-~-re ~ t (Pensioner Prowl) at am elevation of 1,140.94 feet msl; (4) a 665-font-lot~ 7-foo~- diameCer steel peustock; (5) two 105-font-long, 5.5 and 5.g-font-diameter steel penstocks le~ding to: (6) a powerhouse containing two turbine./gema'a~ milts with • total installed capacity of 1.4 MW; ('7) two ~Ir~es; ~d (8) other ~ppurtemmces.

A new Federal F~erlD" Regulatory Commission (FERC) lic~me for the Project was issued on June 9, 2004 with an effective date of Octob~ 2, 2004 snd a c o n ~ Vermont Water Quality Certification (WQC) was issued on May 19,2003.
