The Newbury Hydroelectric Project is located on the Wells River, in the Village of Wells River, Town of Newbury, in Orange County, Vermont. The Project is located approximately 0.9 river miles from the Wells River’s confluence with the Connecticut River. Originally built in 1912, the 壩 is a concrete, gravity-type structure that is 90-feet-long by 26-feet-high with a south 鄰接 crest at 464.9 feet 國家大地垂直基準 (胃腸疾病 29) and a north abutment crest at 464.4 feet NGVD 29. The 溢洪道 is 73.3 feet long by approximately 20 feet high and topped with a 5-foot-high and 73.3 foot-long pneumatic 山頂門 system. The spillway crest elevation is 458.9 feet NGVD 29, and the normal impoundment level is 463.9 feet NGVD 29 with the crest gate system inflated. The bypassed reach is approximately 590 feet long, and the impoundment is approximately 0.4 miles in length and covers a surface area of 11.4 acres at full pond, with 25 acre-feet of gross storage capacity. The average net 頭 at the project is 34 feet, and the normal tailwater elevation is 430.0 feet NGVD 29.
Additional project facilities include: a 5-foot-diameter, 435-foot-long underground steel 壓力水管; an intake structure; a 發電站 located within the former Adams Paper Company mill building containing a single turbine-generator unit (Unit No. 1) rated at 0.315 MW and a minimum flow unit (Unit No. 2) located approximately 75 feet downstream of the dam rated at 0.05 MW; a tailrace; three 150-foot-long generator leads creating a 480 Volt (V), 3-phase, 150-foot-long underground transmission line connecting to three pole-mounted 167 kVA3 step-up 變壓器; appurtenant facilities.
