Hydro project under consideration in California

31 October 2002


The company is proposing to build two small generators near the south fork of the Pit river, taking advantage of an existing diversion ditch and dam. The project would divert water from the river through 4.7km of existing ditch to the West Valley reservoir, which sends water back into the river through a diversion dam.

One generator will be placed near the point where the ditch enters the reservoir and the other will be placed near the diversion dam. The maximum output of the proposed generators would be about 2.6MW.
