Center
of the Rock Creek Diversion Dam
Center Pier where the
turbine will go. About 90 cfs is coming out of the 30 inch conduit.
Flow varies between about 90 and 130 cfs. with a maximum capacity
of about 141 cfs. Our proposal will greatly deminish this jet by
redirecting most of it straight down to a new turbine directly under
the center of this pier,

Transmission
Assess
The existing electrical
distribution service drop. There will be minor changes here including
new metering and air switch disconnect.
The location of the new
transformer is proposed as inside or near the gate house.

Marshalling
Area
The work and parking
area just downstream on the right side of the dam. This will be
used at the marshalling yard. The utility service will be from the
pole on the right to a new control building and transformer vault
immediately below the pole and directly behind the van.
