    Feasibility of Hydropower capacity additions at the Thief River Falls Dam
    (1982-07-02) Knowlton, Robert J.; Gulliver, John S.
    The Thief River Falls Dam MN 00502 is located on the Red Lake River in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The powerhouse and tailrace are part of the original dam, built in approximately 1890. The present dam was built immediately downstream of the original dam (which remains submerged in the pool upstream). The present hydropower faci1ities were installed and put into operation in 1927. The output capacity at the present hydroelectric facility is 500 kW at a rated head of 14.0 feet. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of upgrading the total hydropower capacity at the site.

    Hydropower Feasibility At The Kettle River Dam MN00513
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 1981-07) Gulliver, John S.; Knowlton, Robert J.; Garver, Rodrick J.
    The Kettle River Dam is located on the Kettle River near Sandstone, Minnesota.

The ownership of the dam and powerhouse has been transferred several times, and the current owner is the State of Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation Division. The generation of electric power was discontinued in 1963. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of redeveloping hydropower production facilities at the Kettle River Dam.
