Name of the Project
Lassen Lodge hydroelectric project.

Location
The project will be located in the upper South Fork Battle Creek, in Tehama County, California, in the US.

Client
Rugraw LLC.

Project Description
The proposed project will include:
• a 2.4-m-high, 19-m-long, concrete diversion dam located at river mile 23 of South Fork Battle Creek;
• a 0.16 ha reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 1 313 m mean sea level;
• an enclosed 5 m × 8 m concrete intake structure with two 2 m × 4 m trash racks;
• a 6 m × 18 m control/fish screen structure attached to the intake;
• a 48-inch-diameter, 2.3-km-long, low-pressure pipeline and a 36-inch-diameter, 1.6-km-long, high-pressure penstock;
• a 15 m × 16 m powerhouse containing a single Pelton-type turbine and generator, with an installed capacity of 5 MW;
• a buried concrete box culvert discharging back to South Fork Battle Creek; and
• transmission facilities.

The project will bypass about 4 km of South Fork Battle Creek.

To transmit power from the generator, an underground conduit will be built to a new substation located about 152 m away. 

Rugraw will connect the project to the grid by building a 19-km-long, 60 kV transmission line and a new switchyard adjacent to the Pacific Gas & Electric Company’s existing 60 kV Volta–South transmission line.
