Document Description
The project includes repair of an existing hydroelectric facility structure on the East Fork of Nelson Creek in Shasta County, California. The hydroelectric facility operates under a FERC License issued March 11, 1987 (Project No. 9029-000). The entire facility includes two small concrete and rock diversion dams, a 22-inch diameter, 700-foot long steel pipeline that conveys water diverted from East Fork Nelson Creek to the project diversion at West Fork Nelson Creek, a 34-inch diameter, 7,180 foot-long steel penstock, a 1,050 square foot concrete block powerhouse containing turbine-generator units with a combined hydraulic capacity of 50 cubic feet per second (cfs). Erosion has occurred underneath the toe of the smaller concrete and rock diversion dam on the East Fork Nelson Creek, resulting in erosion of the structure. Repairs are required to address the erosion and prevent additional damage to the structure.
