Experimental Clinch River flow-reregulation weir
This report describes a proposed experimental flow reregulation weir to be placed in the Clinch River two miles below Norris Dam. The rock weir will be 5 feet high, 21 or 30 feet in width as required to minimize hazardous floating conditions, and contain 54 12-inch diameter steel pipes for discharge control. The basic function of the structure is to use water captured from Norris Dam peaking releases to sustain a desirable continuous minimum discharge of 200 ft/sup 3//s during offpeak periods when the turbines are idle. The improved flow conditions are expected to enhance the quality of the Clinch River fishery. The project is an experimental effort designed to test positive and negative impacts associated with a low head, overflow reregulation structure placed below a major tributary peaking project. The effort is proposed as part of a multiyear TVA experimental program to improve conditions in the tailwaters of TVA impoundments. If negative results occur the weir will be removed.
