Gebhard, Jr, T G

The feasibility of developing hydroelectric power at the Liledoun Dam in Liledoun, North Carolina was studied. This dam, built in 1920 for water impoundment, has a developable head of 22 ft. Information is presented on: the site characteristics; the potential developer, customer power demand; environmental, institutional and safety aspects of the proposed development; power plant potential and characteristics; and the calculation of the costs and benefits of the proposal. Based on the assumptions used, hydropower development at this site was found to be economically feasible if the cost of money is less than 16%. (LCL)
