Reconnaissance Report for Hydropower, Lock and Dam Number 2, Mississippi River
This report presents a preliminary evaluation of the addition of hydropower at the existing navigation Lock and Dam 2. The study shows that installation of a hydroplant with a 4,000-kW (kilowatt) or 5,000-kW nameplate rating is economical. Pertinent data concerning the site and two optional installations are given. Severe environmental impacts do not appear to be associated with construction of a plant of the sizes investigated. The District Engineer recommends that the Corps of Engineers prepare a feasibility report which can serve as a basis for congressional authorization for hydropower plant construction at Lock and Dam 2.
