The run-of-river, baseload plant operates on 85-cubic-footper-second of water diverted by a diversion dam located in Blacksmith Fork Canyon. The 3,419-foot-by-passed reach is not de-watered because the flows in the river exceeds the capacity of the plant, and during low flows, Hyrum City operates the plant at less than maximum flow to maintain a continuous flow throughout the river channel for aesthetic enjoyment in the city park that adjoins the powerhouse. The project includes the following constructed facilities: (1) a 15-foot-high, 70-foot-long earth-fill concrete core embankment to the north, a 14-foothigh, 65-foot-long concrete spillway section, a 15-foot-high, 125-foot-long earth-fill concrete core embankment to the north which makes the total length of the dam approximately 260-foot-long; (2) a 16-foot-high, 8-foot-wide concrete intake structure with a 20-foot-high, 8foot-wide trash rack and fish ladder; (3) a 60-inch-diameter concrete penstock inlet with head gate; (4) a 3,470-footlong, 48-inch-diameter concrete penstock going into a 130-foot-long, 42inch-diameter steel penstock; (5) a 37acre-foot de-silting pond; (6) a 26-footwide, 39-foot-long, 20-foot-high brick powerhouse; (7) a 400-kilowatt Leffel horizontal shaft scroll case turbine; (8) a 100-foot, 2.4-kV underground transmission line and; (9) appurtenant facilities.
