Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Wallace Dam, Georgetown, Kentucky
The feasibility of retrofitting the Wallace Dam near Georgetown, Kentucky for power generation was examined. This dam has a developable head of 7 ft., and was built in 1910 to impound a water supply for the municipal water system. The study of environmental, institutional, safety and economic factors showed that hydroelectric power development at this site would rely on an extremely low head and that such development would not be economically feasible.
