Saluda Hydro Project Factoid:

Only two bulldozers were used in the construction of the original dam, completed in 1930.

 

Water Quality Resource Conservation Group

The Mission of the Water Quality Resource Conservation Group (WQRCG) is to develop water quality related recommendations to be included in the Saluda Hydroelectric Project FERC license application. The goal will be to achieve or exceed levels of compliance for State water quality standards for Lake Murray and the lower Saluda River. A means to work towards that goal is to identify data needs and to gather or develop that data necessary to ensure that water quality standards are currently being met and that they will be maintained in the future. A primary measure of success in achieving the mission and goals will be a published WQRCG Protection, Mitigation, and Enhancement (PM&E) Agreement.
