The Mahoning Creek Dam was constructed in 1942 by the US Army Corps of Engineers and is
one of the 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District.
Mahoning Creek Hydroelectric Company LLC, a subsidiary of AHS has received a Preliminary
Permit to explore the development of this site for electrical generation which is expected to be
rated at a capacity of around 6.0MW. This Permit was renewed September 5th, 2008.
The environmental studies have been completed and you can download the study reports
