Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Tobesofkee Creek Watershed Structure Number 70, Forsyth, Georgia

T. G. Gebhard

The feasibility of retrofitting the Tobesofkee Creek Watershed Structure number 70 near Forsyth, Georgia for power generation was examined. This earthen dam has a developable head of 20 ft., and was built in 1963 for flood control. The study of environmental, institutional safety and economic factors showed that commercial hydroelectric power development at this site is not economically feasible. (ERA citation 07:046137)
