    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 Fish Hook River Dam
    (1982-05) Loyal, Gake; Gulliver, John S.
    The Fish Hook River Dam MN 00234 is located on the Fish Hook River in Park Rapids, Minnesota. The earthen dam was originally built for logging in 1880 and rebuilt in 1928-1930. A hydropower facility was built in 1909 and taken out of operation in approximately 1943. The powerhouse and portions of the machinery are still in place. The dam is currently owned by the City of Park Rapids. The dam and reservoir are currently used solely for recreation.

    Hydropower Feasibility at the Rum River Dam in Anoka, Minnesota
    (1982-08-02) Renaud, Richard K.; Dotan, Avry; Gulliver, John S.
    The Rum River Dam MN 00549 is located on the Rum River in Anoka, Minnesota. The existing dam, completed in 1970, replaced a log timber dam operated by Pillsbury-Washburn Milling Company until 1935, when the title was trasferred to the City of Anoka. The mill was located on the left bank of the river adjacent to the dam, and its five turbines had a combined capacity of 450 HP. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of developing hydropower production facilities at the Rum River Dam.

    Hydropower Feasibility at the St. Cloud Dam
    (1981-09-01) Knowlton, Robert J.; Garver, Rodrick J.; Gulliver, John S.; Renaud, Richard
    The Mississippi River Darn MN 00506 is located on the Mississippi River in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Power generation at the original darn was discontinued in 1967, at which time ownership was transferred from Northern States Power to the City of St. Cloud and plans were made to construct the present darn. The existing darn, completed in 1972, replaced the original darn which was constructed in 1887. The existing powerhouse and facilities were removed. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of redeveloping hydropower production facilities· at the St. Cloud Darn.
