k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to redesign the project to have four smaller Turgo-type turbine-generators in lieu of the approved two Francis-type turbine-generators. The design change would decrease the project capacity from 1.8 megawatts (MW) to 1.4 MW and decreases the hydraulic capacity from 180 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 150 cfs. The licensee states that this redesign will better align with the existing features of the Flannagan Dam and produce more energy on a yearly basis than the previous design. The licensee states that it is not proposing changes to any other aspects of the project and that the environmental impact of the project will not change from previously analyzed.
