DEC Announces Drawdown of Indian River to Begin Nov. 15
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today that Central Rivers Power, licensee of the Theresa Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 4486), is overseeing a gradual drawdown of the Indian River to allow for replacement of a hydraulically operated 17.5-foot-high spillway gate.
The drawdown will take place over several days to allow for the protection of aquatic life and will last approximately four months.
