Title
Hydropower Feasibility at the St. Cloud Dam
Abstract
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.
