The proposed project would consist of: (1) One new underwater frame module containing nine turbines with a total installed capacity of about 4.73 megawatts which would be installed in a new concrete conduit located adjacent to the Corps' active lock; (2) a new removable lock door; (3) a new switchyard, transformer, and control room which would be located on the west side of the Corps' Upper Appleton Dam; (4) a new 1500-foot-long, 36.7 kilovolt transmission line, which would deliver power from the turbines to an existing transformer tie-in bus located at the Corps' lock and dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant facilities.

The Grim Reaper Project would have an estimated average annual generation of about 37,278 megawatts-hours, which would be sold to a local utility.
