Minimal additional infrastructure will be required to incorporate the turbine into this diversion <br />dam. A general schematic of the proposed configuration is shown below. This schematic does not <br />reflect the entire site, but only the bay that the turbine will be installed in. As you can see in the <br />photograph of the site, there are two bays with radial <br />gates (sand gates), one of which will be used to house the <br />�a �� -� ��� turbine. The radial gate will stay in place and the turbine <br />+� x��� � � ��. �� ���� will sit behind a new concrete wall within the bay. The <br />` � � � � , �'�.`�» � � <br />��� x draft tube will extend into a lower stilling pool that will <br />� � � �° � ,� <br />�, , � �� . . � � �� maintaiil adequate submergence. <br />_� <br />Schematic of proposed configuration <br />of the cassette for maintenance. <br />The Ogee Weir of the diversion dam will act as a bypass in <br />the case of emergency or maintenance. The radial gate <br />will be programmed to close in the case of a grid failure to <br />prevent run away speeds in the generator. A simple crane <br />will be installed above the turbine to assist in the removal <br />Upstream of the turbine a screen will be installed to prevent the passage of large fish into the <br />machine. The SLH turbine will pass smaller 2-4 inch long fish without damage to the fish or the <br />equipment. Larger fish will not be allowed to enter the machine using the screen. This screen will <br />be designed to be self cleaning and require little maintenance. <br />CONCEPTUALPLAN <br />Conceptual plans including a plan and elevation of the hydropower facility is included in Appendix <br />B of this report. <br />C0S`I' I°;�"1"1l�A"1`t°; <br />� ` Rio Grande Canal Water Users Association � Project Description-� <br />
