Uprating Hydro Turbines and Generators
Various engineering evaluations of the turbine and generator components are required when considering uprating units. Often, certain turbine and generator components have to be redesigned...

The Twlefth Street Project?Multiple Uses on the Falls of the James River
This paper is about a hydroelectric project that was not built. The project is located in Richmond, Virginia on the James River. Project civil works, water rights and adjacent land are...

The Lowell Hydroelectric Project: A Case Study
The Lowell Hydroelectric Project, located on the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts, consists of an existing dam, canals, and turbine generating equipment presently operating at...

Negotiating Environmental Protection Measures with Resource Agencies: Twin Falls and Weeks Falls Hydroelectric Projects, Washington
The planning and licensing process for the Twin and Weeks Falls Projects involved resolution of numerous regulatory and environmental issues, including the need for cumulative impact analysis...

Run-of-River Controller for Hydro Plants
New York State Electric and Gas Corporation has installed programmable run-of-river (ROR) controllers at five of their plants. Each of these plants has either two or three units with installed...

Dust Control at Canyon Ferry
Since initial filling of Canyon Ferry Lake in 1955, wind blown, fine grained material from exposed flats at the upper end of the lake became a problem of increasing concern. Average deposition...

Public Involvement Strategies: A Case Study in Citizen Participation
Literally millions of dollars are wasted every year because authorized and funded water projects are stalled in court, hung up in administrative proceedings, or delayed while the project...

Small-Hydro Development and Public Decisionmaking
This paper is based on a larger study (Soden, 1985), and employs concepts distilled from public choice theory - an increasingly well-accepted approach to the study of public policy and...

Importance of Public Consultation
Early consultation with governmental resource agencies as well as private environmental groups can mean the difference between early resolution of conflicts between developers and environmentalists...

Planning for Small-Scale Hydroelectric Development: A State Response
A 'surplus' of power in the Pacific Northwest region of the country has brought with it a declining interest in the generation of new electrical energy supplies....

Small Hydro Advocacy
The state public utilities commissions wield enormous power over the destiny of small hydro projects; power extending over rates, contract terms and dispute resolution. Yet developers...

Effective Coordination With Fish and Wildlife Agencies
Recently the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) expanded the role communications play in dealing with Fish and Wildlife Agencies. In March of 1985 the FERC publication #FERC-0100...

Coordinating Engineering and Environmental Activities in Hydropower Development
This paper reviews the role of hydropower project personnel, particularly the interaction between project management, engineering, and environmental sciences staff in project planning...

Determination of the Effects of Multiple Small-Scale Hydroelectric Projects on Resources in a California River Basin: A Matrix Approach
In 1983, Section 306 of the Energy and Water Appropriation Act required the FERC to conduct a comprehensive water resource analysis in the Upper San Joaquin River Basin, California. A...

Resolving Environmental Conflicts During Licensing?A Case History
Vischer Ferry and Crescent Dams are located on the lower Mohawk River near Albany, NY. In September 1982, the Power Authority of the State of New York filed license applications with the...

Study of River Stage Fluctuations Resulting from Possible Operations of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project
Operation of the project to follow load may result in discharge and river stage fluctuations which could affect habitats and fish food sources. Limitations on hourly, daily, and weekly...

Fish Studies for a Small Hydroplant in Michigan
The Morrow Lake hydroelectric project is a new facility which is scheduled to become operational in August 1985. A study has been developed consisting of two main parts: Potential change...

Preventing Fish Mortality at a Large Pumped Storage Plant
A field study program was initiated at the Truman Project to obtain a better understanding of which fish species in the tailrace area would be most susceptible to turbine passage, determine...

Fish Screens for Hydropower Developments
The paper reviews five screening systems that are now being used at hydropower developments. The screen types discussed have a demonstrated ability to meet agency fish screening criteria....

Galt Energy's Inverted Siphon System
Galt Energy Systems' involvement with attempting to standardize the civil component began with studies at small remote sites in Northern Ontario. The system design evolved...
