Cooper River Rediversion Project, Lake Moultrie and Santee River, South Carolina, Cooling Water Facilities.
Abstract
The purpose of this design memorandum is to present information describing the effects of the project on the Jefferies Steam Plant and Jefferies Hydro Plant and a proposed cooling water scheme, including costs, justification, and design criteria, which will provide the Public Service Authority with equal operating capability after rediversion as it now enjoys. This design memorandum will form the basis for final design and plans and specifications for construction of the cooling water facilities for the Jefferies Steam Plant. This memorandum provides detailed studies and proposed solutions to problems created when flows through the existing Jefferies Hydro Plant are restricted to a weekly average of 3,000 cfs. The method presented to cool the condenser discharge water from the Jefferies Steam Plant is a combination of additional flow release through the Jefferies Hydro Plant and the construction of a mechanical draft cooling tower. The proposed cooling water tower will be constructed adjacent to the Jefferies Steam Plant on property owned by the South Carolina Public Service Authority. This is located about 1 mile north of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, on the south side of Lake Moultrie.
