Description

The existing Cedar Lake Dam and the integral Cedar Valley Power Company Hydroelectric Powerhouse (powerhouse) were constructed in 1917 and used for power generation until the project was retired in 1965.  The dam was reconstructed in 1989 and it is currently owned and operated by Nashua.  Prior to 1989, all generating equipment was removed from the powerhouse.

The proposed project would consist of:  the existing 15.5-foot-high concrete gravity Cedar Lake Dam with a 258-foot-long concrete gated spillway section, and a 700-foot-long earth embankment section that impounds a 405-acre reservoir (Cedar Lake); an existing 51-foot-wide concrete intake structure connected to the existing powerhouse that would contain four new turbine generating units with a total installed capacity of 800 kW; a tailrace; and a new 75-foot-long, 13.8-kilovolt (kV) overhead transmission line.
