This facility with 4 turbines produces 11% of TVA power. They were currently pumping out upland reservoir to inspect pipes so lake was low. The standpipe is 32' in diameter. The ball valves feeding each turbine are 17' in diameter. The dike on the lake is 8500' long and 200-300' high. The turbines are also reversed to pump water into the upland when the river floods.
