This proposed Hydro project on the upper reaches of the South Fork of Battle Creek will have a
6' high by 94' wide diversion dam at elevation 4,304 feet. A 10' x 20'
intake structure will be to the side of the dam. A 4' diameter pipe will extend
downstream. Then a 3' high pressure line will drop another 1.4 miles to a powerhouse at
elevation 3,350 feet. The powerhouse will have a maximum flow of 105 cfs, but optimal flow
will be 95 cfs
