This book was released on 1984 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a detailed evaluation of additional hydropower potential at locks and dam 1. The original Federal navigation locks and dam project included a foundation for a hydropower plant to be developed by non-Federal interests. The existing hydropower plant and equipment are owned and operated by the Ford Motor Co. The existing four turbines generate a combined nameplate capacity of 14.4 MW (megawatts). This study was conducted under the assumption that the Federal government would develop additional hydropower at locks and dam 1. It concludes that an additional hydroelectric capacity of 7.2 MW would be the optimum amount that could be added to this site. That capacity would produce additional average annual energy of 21,450 MWh (megawatt-hours). The added energy recommended would equate to burning 36,500 barrels of oil or 10,000 tons of coal per year. Total investment first cost of the recommended hydropower development would be $11,696,000 or $1,076,000 on an average annual basis, including annual operation and maintenance costs. Average annual benefits based on the avoided costs of a fossil fuel plant are $1,325,000. Net annual benefits are $249,000. The benefit-cost ratio is 1.23 based on an 8-3/4% discount rate, 100-year project life, and October 1984 price levels. Many of the environmental impacts normally associated with hydropower development would not occur because no new impoundment or changed plan of regulating river flows would be required.

This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the entire process of environmental impact assessment for hydropower and dam projects, not from a legal or regulatory point of view, but from a very applied one, based mainly on the personal experience of the author, who is involved in this field of work since over 40 years, by describing the different steps of such an assessment, covering all major aspects to be dealt with. The focus is on environmental issues, while the other main subject—social impacts—is mentioned here only briefly. It will be of interest not only for ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment) practitioners, be they consultants involved in the preparation of such studies or staff members of environmental protection agencies having to come to decisions based on them, but also for engineers and planners involved in such projects, developers, and people interested in questions related to energy, environment, and climate change. Overall, this book aims at contributing to put the discussion about hydropower and dam projects on a more objective level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the environmental impacts of a proposed U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiative to promote the development of hydropower resources at existing dams. Hydropower development at existing dams has, in general, fewer impacts than development of additional fossil-fueled resources or hydropower at new dams, although potential cumulative impacts of developing multiple hydropower projects have not been explicitly addressed. Environmental review of project impacts and mitigation needs can ensure that additional hydropower development at existing dams can provide a renewable resource with fewer impacts than alternative resources.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the mid-1970's, an assessment of the potential for expansion of the nation's hydroelectric generating capabilities was initiated by the passage of the Water Resources Development Act (PL 94-587). Economic feasibility studies for small-scale hydropower development were performed for sites on the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been asked to provide input into the final feasibility report and draft Environmental Impact Statements for hydropower development at Locks and Dams 5 and 8. This report as the following objective: to compile, review, and analyze existing information on movements of adult fish through dams on the UMR from St. Anthony Falls to Lock and Dam 14. Secondary objectives include (1) identification of information gaps about adult fish movements and UMR fisheries in general that would prevent an accurate assessment of the impacts of small-scale hydropower development on UMR fisheries; and (2) identification of impact assessment techniques, approaches, and means of obtaining the necessary data for an assessment of the impacts of small-scale hydropower development on ichthyoplankton and UMR fisheries.
