Document Description
Applicant's existing Francis trubines cannot effectively generate hydroelectric power when flows are below 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) and Applicant seeks to utilize bypass flows to optimize power production. The Energy Recovery Aerator Project consists of the installation of a third hydroelectric unit that will generate an additional 850 kilowatts of electrical power using a crossflow aerator/turbine unit. The project will divert a maximum of 100 cfs through a new powerhouse and will discharge directly into the bypass channel.
