Why APPI:
- When the water level was raised at Swan Lake in Sitka, AK, it created a problem with debris going into and being stuck around the lake.
- SEAPA Hydro has been tasked with cleaning up the debris in and around the lake
- Due to the environment (outdoors, heavy precipitation), a propane generator was selected to avoid fuel contamination
- A self-contained system that could be pulled from location to location around the lake was a primary requirement
Ed Schofield, the Power System Specialist, at SEAPA said, “Swan Lake winch is onsite and functioned well. It will be spring before it can be transported out onto the reservoir and put in service. Please let all involved with this project, we appreciate their efforts, great job.”
