raw-down; and 43,000 acre-feet, dead storage. The power plant ill have an installed capacity of 34,000 kilowatts. The variable ow from this power installation will be reregulated by the Fallig Spring Dam, which will be a low, gravity-type, concrete tructure, with an earth embankment at the right abutment. The alling Spring Dam will have a maximum height of 64 feet and crest length of 850 feet, of which 640 feet will be concrete and 10 feet will be earth fill. The storage at spillway crest elevation will be 4,700 acre-feet, of which 4,000 acre-feet will be available for stream-flow regulation.

The estimate of Federal cost for the project, including both dams and reservoirs, revised in 1951, is $20,700,000 for construction and $1,700,000 for lands and damages, including highway, railroad, and utility relocation, a total of $22,400,000 for new work.
