Gebhard, Jr, T G

The feasibility of retrofitting the Ledbetter Pond Dam near Ledbetter, NC for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 27 ft., and was built in 1880 to provide hydropower to a mill which is now defunct. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site is feasible providing the safety of the dam can be assured. (LCL)
