Brief reconnaissance study for the addition of hydropower for Degaris Mill Dam, Georgetown, Kentucky

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5290271
The feasibility of retrofitting the Degaris Mill Dam near Georgetown, KY for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 7.5 ft., was built many years ago for a mill, was repaired in 1972 and provides a supplement to the city water supply. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site is not economically feasible. (LCL)
