l. Description of the Project: The project consists of the
following two existing facilities: The Marquette Development No. 2
includes (1) Forestville Reservoir with a surface area of 110 acres and
a storage volume of 2,900 acre-feet, impounded by (2) a 202-foot-long,
62-foot high, concrete-capped Cyclopean masonry dam with crest
elevation 771.0 feet NGVD, which acts as a spillway under extremely
high flows, with (a) a 197-foot-long concrete retaining wall, (b) a 75-
foot-long training wall, and (c) a 33-foot-wide intake structure, with
inclined trashracks, which discharges into (3) a 90-inch-diameter,
wood-stave penstock, about 4,200 feet long, which conveys the water to
(4) a concrete surge tank. From the surge tank, the water is carried by
(5) two 440-foot-long, 78-inch-diameter steel penstocks to (6)
Powerhouse No. 2, which is a 40-foot by 96-foot reinforced
[[Page 45254]]
concrete and brick structure containing (7) two, two-phase, 60-cycle
horizontal turbine-generator sets with a combined generating capacity
of 3,200 kilowatts, which transmit power to the 12,500 kV power
distribution system.
The Marquette Development No. 3 includes (8) Tourist Park Reservoir
with a surface area of 100 acres and a storage volume of 875 acre-feet,
impounded by (9) a dam composed of (a) a 37-foot-long left spillway
dike with a crest elevation of 642.84 feet NGVD, (b) an 80-foot long,
21-foot high, uncontrolled concrete ogee-shaped overflow spillway, with
a crest elevation of 638.84 feet NGVD, (c) a gated spillway with two
electric-hoist-operated, 10-foot-high by 10-foot-wide Taintor gates
with a crest elevation of 629.84 feet NGVD, (d) a 758-foot-long right
dike, with a reinforced concrete core wall with a crest elevation of
642.84 feet NGVD, and (e) a reinforced concrete intake structure with
inclined trash racks, located 123 feet from the right end of the right
dike, and having a single 20-foot-wide by 17-foot high bay. This bay
controls water flowing into (10) an 8-foot-diameter, 150-foot long
steel penstock, supported on nine reinforced-concrete pedestals spaced
16 feet apart, which carries water to (11) Powerhouse No. 3, which is a
28-foot by 40-foot reinforced concrete and brick structure containing
(12) one two-phase, 60-cycle vertical turbine-generator set, which
transmits power to the 12,500 kV power distribution system.
m. Locations of the application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
