Improvements Needed at the Indianford Powerhouse

This is a mechanical trash rack cleaner, and soon after we build a coffer dam later this fall, we will have someone engineer and fabricate this tool.

The issue is, as noted earlier, too much sediment and sunken organic mass is clogging the trash racks from the bottom-up.

Also as noted earlier, the gates have NO IMPACT on high lake levels or the flooding that we are experiencing today.

The spillway elevation is far below where the river's elevation is at - so EVERYTHING is flowing over the spillway.
