Talk:Eklutna Dam

The Eklutna Project
While reading through the wiki pages on Eklutna dam, Old Eklutna Power Plant, I think these should all be comined into one article called "The Eklutna Project". It is very confusing for the average reader to distinguish between the old storage dam, new storage dam, old diversion dam, new power plant and old power plant. I've done a lot of research on this project and would like to roll all of this information into one comprehensive wiki. Any thoughts or suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keysgoclick (talk • contribs) 22:02, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree very confusing, at least four locations, two power plants, three separate dams (original two, and after 64 Quake new dam), two tunnels, and at least four owners (private, city of anchorage, federal goverment, city of Anchorage, Municipal of Anchorage and Chugach Electric. I do not know how to fix but it definitely needs something!
 * Maybe a name of "The Eklutna Hydroelectric Project" as a stub for Eklutna Lake and river
 * chronological history of each part(dams, tunnels, generation)
 * or divided time wise (early two dam, short tunnel system and later (present) one dam, long tunnel to knik river system with dam change (from 64 earthquake).
 * Additional information that could be added; old dam removal and sediment problems, use of eklutna power plant discharge (tailrace) for hatchery salmon collection and fishing, potential for pumped hydro, requirements for improvements (federal), restoration of some eklutna river stream flow and affects on fish.
