Morgan Falls Dam

Morgan Falls Dam is a small hydroelectric dam located along the Chattahoochee River in northern Georgia, in the northern suburbs of metro Atlanta. Originally constructed in 1904 by Georgia Power to provide electricity for Atlanta's streetcars, it now provides enough power for about 4400 homes. It is 1031 feet or 314 meters long, and 56 feet or 17 meters tall, and holds back Bull Sluice Lake.

The dam's current license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was issued in March of 1959, and expires in February 2009. Georgia power has begun the required impact studies for re-licensing of the dam, which will be for 30 or 50 years.
