The Hailesboro No. 6 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 3181), Hailesboro No. 4 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 6058), and Hailesboro No. 3 Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 5633), collectively referred to as the Hailesboro Projects, are located on the Oswegatchie River in St. Lawrence County, New York. The Projects are owned and operated by Hydro Development Group Acquisition, LLC (HDGA). The 132-mile long Oswegatchie River is located in the St. Lawrence River Watershed.

The Hailesboro No. 6 Project is the most upstream of the three Projects and is located at river mile (RM) 68.2. The Project operates under an 豁免 issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on September 17, 1981.
The Project consists of (1) a 10-foot-high and 150-foot-long reinforced concrete gravity overflow-type 坝 with a crest elevation of 487 ft 国家大地垂直基准 (胃肠疾病); (2) a reservoir with a surface area of 4 acres and negligible storage capacity at normal surface elevation of 487 feet NGVD; (3) a 40-foot-wide and 70-foot-long intake structure with 门 and trashracks along the south (left) bank; (4) a 发电站 containing two turbines rated at 800 horsepower and 500 horsepower, connected to two generators rated at 550 kilowatts (kW) and 350 kW, respectively, at a 头 of 19 feet and at a flow of 700 cubic feet per second (cfs); (5) a short tailrace; (6) electrical switchgear; (7) a 75-foot-long 2.3-kilovolt (kV) transmission line; and (8) appurtenant facilities. Hailesboro No. 6 has an installed capacity of 900 kW and operates in a 径流 (ROR) mode. The dam creates a short bypassed reach, approximately 350 feet long.

The Hailesboro No. 4 Project is located at RM 67.7, approximately 0.5 miles downstream from Hailesboro No. 6. The Project operates under a license issued by FERC on October 30, 2002, which was amended on September 19, 2012. The Project consists of (1) a concrete gravity-type dam comprised of: (i) the 105-foot-long, 14-foot-high dam #1 surmounted by a 2-foot-high pneumatic 顶门; and (ii) the 58-foot-long, 5-foot-high dam #2 surmounted by 2-foot-high wooden 闪光板; (2) a reservoir with a surface area of 2 acres and a gross storage volume of 20 acre-feet at normal water surface elevation 461 ft NGVD; (3) a gated intake structure with steel trashracks which have 1.75-inch clear spacing; (4) a 170-foot-long concrete-lined forebay 运河 with a sluice gate; (5) a reinforced concrete and concrete masonry powerhouse containing two horizontally mounted, double runner, Francis-type turbine units; one 900-kW generating unit and one 1,000-kW generating unit for a total installed capacity of 1,900 kW; (6) a 2.4/23-kV 变电站, and a 50-foot-long, 23-kV transmission line; (7) appurtenant facilities; and (8) a 73-foot-long by 3-foot-high concrete gravity 导流 dam (Island Branch Weir), topped with 1-foot-high wooden flashboards, located at the entrance of the Island Branch of the Oswegatchie River, notched to provide a 30-cfs minimum flow into the 0.4-mile-long bypassed reach. The Project operates in an automatic ROR mode using pond level control. A minimum flow of 30 cfs is provided by a notch in the Island Branch Weir into Island Branch. Minimum flows below 坝 #1 and Dam #2 are 20 cfs and 8 cfs, respectively, with seasonal adjustments per the project’s Water Quality Certificate (WQC). The tailrace discharges directly into the headpond of the Hailesboro No. 3 Project.

The Hailesboro No. 3 Project is located at RM 67.5, approximately 0.25 miles downstream from Hailesboro No. 4. The Project operates under an exemption issued by FERC on July 14, 1982, as amended by FERC Order issued June 11, 1998.

The Project consists of (1) a 16-foot-high, 68-foot-long reinforced concrete dam having a 24-foot-long 泄洪道 section with crest elevation 427.2 feet NGVD and having an intake section at the left (south) 邻接 and a gated sluiceway section at the right abutment; (2) a reservoir with a surface area of 6.5 acres and negligible storage capacity at normal surface elevation of 427.2 feet NGVD; (3) a timber gate intake structure, a 90-foot-long, 9-foot-diameter 压力水管, a 95-foot-long, 8.5-foot-diameter penstock, and a concrete intake box containing two turbine units; (4) a powerhouse containing two 500 kW generating units; (5) a tailrace; (5) a substation; (6) appurtenant facilities; and (7) a 0.25-mile long 2.3-kV transmission line. The Project has an installed capacity of 1,000 kW and operates in a ROR mode while providing a minimum flow of 3 cfs into the approximately 200-foot-long bypassed reach.
