Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Cooleemee Dam, Cooleemee, North Carolina
The feasibility of retrofitting the Cooleemee Dam near Cooleemee, NC for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 18 ft, was built in 1905 for water diversion into a canal and for power generation for a textile mill. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site is economically feasible if a low interest rate for retrofitting cost is available or if the excess power generated can be sold to Duke Power Co. at a suitable rate.
