Active Projects

 76. PROJECT:Lovell ID Hydro Power
LEVEL:New Application
SPONSOR:Lovell Irrigation District
LOCATION:Big Horn County
PROGRAM:New Development

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The Lovell Irrigation District would like to pursue a detailed cost analysis of the rehabilitation of several locations in its irrigation canal system. The District would like to convert several problem areas of the current ditch system into pipe drop structure type conveyances to eliminate seepage losses. At the same time, the District would also like a detailed cost analysis to determine the feasibility and cost of placing hydropower generators in these new drop structures. This study will also include a study or the transmission requirements to get the generated power to a power user.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated into the Rehabilitation Program at Level II with an appropriation of $60,000.
