Brief reconnaissance study for the addition of hydropower for Carr Fork Dam, Sassafras, Kentucky

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5358713
The feasibility of retrofitting the Carr Fork Dam near Hazard, KY for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 80 ft and was built in 1975 to provide flood protection. The study of environmental, institutional, safety, and economic factors showed that the total investment cost would be $909,600 and that hydroelectric power development at this site is not feasible unless a higher price could be obtained for the power sold.
