Book Description
Excerpt from Reports Upon the Existing Water-Power Situation at Niagara Falls, So Far as Concerns the Diversion of Water on the American Side After a careful examination of all the circumstances which should affect a decision to the amount of water to be allowed under the act, including the capital invested, the present capacity of the works and their present output, the quantity of water now actually in use, the contracts made for furnishing power, with the dates of such contracts, the future capacity of the works as projected, and the charter rights under New York State law, Captain Kutz reaches the conclusion that a permit should be granted to the Niagara Falls Power Company for the maximum amount allowed, viz, 8, 600 cubic feet per second. He finds that the company and its tenants have that amount actually in use and may reasonably ask for the whole of H, and in that opinion we concur. Pie is in doubt whether it should include the water which is occasionally used for sluicing debris and ice. The amount of this is not accurately known, but it is estimated at between 600 and 700 cubic feet per second during the sluicing process. It is used only intermittently. The total amount thus used in a year would, if distributed throughout the year, be but a small average per second. The law is explicit in prohibiting a permit for any amount whatever in excess of 8, 600 cubic feet per second, but it seems a reasonable interpretation to take that as the general average and to allow the company to use a slightly less amount during the greater part of the rear in order to accumulate enough water to supply the demands of sluicing upon the occasions when it is needed. After a similar careful examination of all the circumstances relating to the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Manufacturing Company, Captain Kutz reaches the conclusion that a permit should be granted that company for the diversion of 5, 743 cubic feet per second, exclusive of the amount required for sluicing, or for 6, 403 cubic feet per second if the water for sluicing be included. The latter is estimated at 660 cubic feet per second. It seems to us desirable that the permits to the two companies should resemble each other in their provisions for sluicing. If to the 5, 743 cubic feet per second just mentioned there be added 107 cubic feet per second as an average for sluicing, an allowance will be made for the accumulation of water which will provide 660 cubic feet per second for sluicing during one hundred and sixteen and two-thirds hours of each month, or fifty nine days in each year, an allowance which is ample. Under this arrangement the amount to begranted to this company for the use of itself and its tenants would be 5, 850 cubic feet per second. The industries using water from the Erie Canal are numerous, and the quantity of water diverted is comparatively small. At Lockport 27 persons or corporations are using water taken either from the upper or the lower level. It is understood that most of the water from the upper level is returned to the canal; but the arrangement of tunnels is such that the water has two outlets, and it is impossible to determine what portion is permanently diverted into Eighteenmile Creek. Many of these industries are located one below the other on Eighteenmile Creek, and use the same water successively, taking it from the lower level.
