Project Details
Title: Loma Rica Hydroelectric Generating Facility
Summary: Reclamation proposes to provide a WaterSMART Water Energy and Efficiency Grant grant to Nevada Irrigation District (NID)to construct and operate a hydroelectric generation station near the Loma Rica Water Treatment Plant and an energy dissipation structure at the terminus of the Banner-Cascade pipeline (BCP). The Proposed Action would allow NID to maximize hydropower potential from their BCP to help reduce electrical costs within the system and to provide a potential source of income to NID. The Proposed Action is located within west-central Nevada County, California just east of Nevada City and Grass Valley.
