l. Project Description: The existing Glen Project consists of a 173-foot-long, 14-foot-high concrete gravity dam equipped with 3-foot-high flashboards with a crest elevation of 413.2 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) at the top of the flashboards. The dam creates an impoundment with a surface area of approximately 7 acres at an elevation of 413.2 feet NGVD 29. The project also comprises (1) an intake structure that includes two headgates equipped with a trashrack with 2-inch clear bar spacing; (2) a 4,100-foot-long, 8- to 8.5-foot-diameter penstock; (3) a powerhouse containing a 685-kilowatt (kW) regulated propeller bulb turbine-generator unit and two 400-kW fixed propeller bulb turbine-generator units for a total installed capacity of 1,485 kW; (4) an approximately 34-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, 8-foot-deep tailrace; (5) a 50-foot-long underground transmission line that leads to a 2.4/13.2-kilovolt step-up transformer where the project is connected to the local electric grid; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The project creates an approximately 4,300-foot- ( printed page 33166) long bypassed reach of the Mascoma River.

The current license requires Green Mountain Power to operate the project in “instantaneous” run‐of‐river mode, so that project outflow approximates inflow to the impoundment. To protect aquatic resources in the Mascoma River, the current license also requires that Green Mountain Power release a continuous minimum flow of 40 cubic feet per second (cfs) or inflow to the impoundment, whichever is less, from the project to the bypassed reach, as measured immediately downstream from the project dam. Green Mountain Power releases the minimum flow through a 20-inch minimum flow pipe that protrudes from the penstock immediately downstream of the project's intake structure. The average annual generation of the project between 2012 through 2024 was approximately 2,782 megawatt-hours.

Green Mountain Power propose to: (1) continue operating the project in a run-of-river mode; (2) continue releasing a continuous minimum flow of 40 cfs or inflow to the impoundment, whichever is less, from the project to the bypassed reach; (3) develop an operations compliance monitoring plan; (4) avoid tree removal of all trees greater than 3 inches in diameter at breast height on project lands from April 15 through October 31, to minimize potential impacts to northern long-eared and tricolored bats; and (5) develop an historic properties management plan.
