This dam wo~ld have an <br /> <br />active storage capacity of 4,600 acre-feet for power releases. <br /> <br />The Cache la Poudre power plant would be located on the <br /> <br />north shore of the Grey Mountain Reservoir and would have an <br /> <br />Installed capacity of 250,000 kilowatts. The design head of <br /> <br />the plant would be 1,180 feet. <br /> <br />Grey Mountain Dam would be located on the Cache la <br /> <br />Poudre River directly below the mouth of the North Fork of <br /> <br />the Cache la Poudre.
