Brief reconnaissance study for the addition of hydropower for Craig Lake Dam, Asheville, North Carolina

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5290208
The feasibility of retrofitting the Craig Lake Dam near Asheville, NC for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 22 ft., was built in 1924 for water impoundment, but no water is currently impounded. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site is feasible if developed by a public agency which can borrow development cost money at municipal bond interest rates.
