ГЕС Барклі

ГЕС Барклі (англ. Barkley Dam))– гідроелектростанція у штаті Кентуккі (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись після ГЕС Cheatham (36 МВт), становить нижній ступінь каскаду на річці Камберленд, лівій притоці Огайо, котра в свою чергу є лівою притокою Міссісіпі (басейн Мексиканської затоки). У 1957-1964 роках річку перекрили греблею висотою від підошви фундаменту 48 метрів (висота від тальвегу 33 метри) та довжиною 3103 метри. Вона включає бічні земляні ділянки загальною довжиною 2659 метрів (потребували 2,8 млн м3 породи) та бетонні секції: судноплавний шлюз (розміри камери 244х34 метри), водопропускну споруду і машинний зал (довжина цих частин 67, 245 та 131 метр відповідно). Гребля утримує витягнуте по долині річки на 190 км водосховище з площею поверхні від 183 км2 до 378 км2 та об’ємом 2568 млн м3, з яких лише 319 млн м3 складають постійний корисний об’єм, а 1815 млн м3 зарезервовані для протиповеневих заходів. Резервуар має припустиме коливання рівня у операційному режимі між позначками 107,9 та 109,4 метра НРМ, зі збільшенням останнього показника до 114,3 метра НРМ у випадку повені. Можливо також відзначити, що сховище за допомогою каналу довжиною 2,8 км з шириною по дну 122 метра та мінімальною глибиною 3,3 метра сполучене з водосховищем ГЕС Кентуккі (нижній ступінь каскаду на річці Теннессі, котра впадає до Огайо за 18 км нижче від устя Камберленд). Інтегрований у греблю машинний зал в 1966-му обладнали чотирма турбінами типу Каплан потужністю по 32,5 МВт, які при напорі у 13 метрів забезпечують виробництво 582 млн кВт-год електроенергії. У другій половині 2010-х оглосили про проект збільшення потужності агрегатів до показника у 41,9 МВт. Примітки

Beckjord Power Station

The Walter C. Beckjord Generating Station was a 1.43-gigawatt (1,433 MW), dual-fuel power generating station located near New Richmond, Ohio, 22 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio. The plant began operation in 1952 and was decommissioned in 2014. It was jointly owned by Duke Energy, American Electric Power (AEP), and Dayton Power & Light (DP&L). Background Of the two Beckjord power plants, one was coal-fired (Units 1–6) and the other was oil-fired (Units GT1–GT4). It was originally built by Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E), which was bought by Duke Energy in 2006. The plant is named after Walter C. Beckjord, the chairman of CG&E from 1957 to 1962. CG&E installed new electrostatic precipitators at Beckjord in the 1970s to reduce pollution mandated by the State of Ohio. Closure and decommissioning In July 2011, Duke Energy announced that Beckjord would shut down in January 2015 because of tightening environmental regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) outweighed the benefits of retrofitting the plant. The shut down was accelerated to November 2014 after an open valve caused an oil spill into the Ohio River the previous August. Duke Energy pleaded guilty in federal court in 2016 for spilling 9,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the Ohio River. The company was fined $1 million for the spill. In 2015, Duke Energy installed a battery-based energy storage system at the site for the purpose of regulating frequency in the electric grid. As a part of the decommissioning process, Duke Energy terminated their lease with the New Richmond Soccer Association who played soccer matches adjacent to Beckjord. Duke Energy and its co-owners, AEP and DP&L, agreed to sell Beckjord and adjacent lands to Commercial Liability Partners for an undisclosed amount in February 2018. Commercial Liability Partners intends to repurpose the brownfields for redevelopment. In April 2023, local officials raised alarms after nearly 300 acres of the site, nearly one third, was purchased by a neighboring farmer. See also List of power stations in Ohio References
Bell County High School

Bell County High School is one of three public high schools in Bell County, Kentucky, United States, and the only one in the county's school district (the other two, Middlesboro and Pineville, are operated by city-based "independent" districts). The school, which accommodates grades 9–12, became the county district's only public high school in the 1980s when it absorbed Lone Jack High School. Locally referred to as BCHS, Bell High, or Bell County, the current building was built after the flood of 1977 and succeeds the former high school (now known as Old Bell County High School, or simply Old Bell High) which is located in a flood plain and was heavily flooded in '77. Today's campus sits on a hill above US 25E about 3 miles (5 km) south of the county seat of Pineville. Notable alumni George Samuel Hurst - inventor of the first touchscreen technology.

Bethlehem High School (Kentucky)

Bethlehem High School is a coeducational, Roman Catholic high school in Bardstown, Kentucky, United States. It is part of the Archdiocese of Louisville, and is one of only two coeducational high schools among the nine overseen by the archdiocese (the other being Holy Cross High School in Louisville). Its sports teams have had successes in the 21st century. In 2006, the boys' soccer team won the Class A state title, the football team beat Bardstown for the 9th district title, and boys' basketball won the 19th District Championship. In 2008, the boys' soccer team again won the Class A State title, and the cheerleading squad placed first at the Jamfest National Championship Competition. The boys' soccer team won the Class A State Championship for the third time in 2011. History Bethlehem High School began in 1819 when Bishop Flaget requested the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to open an elementary day school for the children in the Bardstown area. Brother David, the founder of this religious order, provided the school, which was staffed by Sisters Harriet Gardiner, Polly Beavin and Nancy Lynd. The name "Bethlehem" was given to this new school to signify the birth of the first branch house stemming from Nazareth, the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Bethlehem continued as an elementary school until 1911, when St. Joseph Preparatory High School for boys was founded. The boys attended "St. Joe Prep", as the school was affectionately called, while girls continued their schooling at Bethlehem. Bethlehem's first high school graduating class was in 1913. From 1911 until 1953, Bethlehem continued as a co-educational elementary school, and a girls' high school. In the fall of 1953, St. Joseph Parochial Elementary School (now St. Joseph School), built by St. Joseph Parish, opened. Bethlehem was operated exclusively as a parish high school for girls, no longer owned by the Sisters, but staffed by them. In 1968, St. Joe Prep closed. In 1970, Bethlehem became a co-educational high school, as it continues today. Bethlehem is the only Roman Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Louisville outside of Jefferson County. It serves eight counties and 35 parishes, with a current enrollment of around 300 students. The school mascots are the Eagles for the boys' teams and the Banshees for the girls' teams. Extracurricular activities Bethlehem High School has a variety of extracurricular activities in sports and non-athletic areas, including drama, speech, National Honor Society, Spirit Club, choir, student council, golf, and cross country.

Big Sandy Power Plant

The Big Sandy Power Plant is a 268 megawatt (MW), natural gas power plant owned and operated by Kentucky Power Company, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), on the shores of the Big Sandy River near Louisa, Kentucky. It was established in 1963. It was formerly a coal-fired power plant, but was converted to natural gas in 2016. Plant Data Number of Employees: 135 Customers: 175,000+ Emissions Data 2006 CO2 Emissions: 6,830,275 tons 2006 SO2 Emissions: 46,476 tons 2006 SO2 Emissions per MWh: 2006 NOx Emissions: 13,851 tons 2005 Mercury Emissions: 281 lb. In January 2009, Sue Sturgis of the Institute of Southern Studies compiled a list of the 100 most polluting coal plants in the United States in terms of Coal Combustion Waste (CCW) stored in surface impoundments like the one involved in the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant coal ash spill. The data came from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for 2006, the most recent year available. Big Sandy Plant ranked number 40 on the list, with 915,079 pounds of coal combustion waste released to surface impoundments in 2006. Big Sandy Plant's Fly Ash surface impoundment is on the EPA's official June 2009 list of Coal Combustion Residue (CCR) Surface Impoundments with High Hazard Potential Ratings. The rating applies to sites at which a dam failure would most likely cause loss of human life, but does not assess of the likelihood of such an event. The data came from the EPA's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) for 2006, the most recent year available. Conversion to natural gas In 2011, Big Sandy's owner AEP announced plans to switch from coal to natural gas to reduce fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and airborne toxins. In 2012, AEP proposed a billion dollar upgrade to allow it to continue to burn coal and asked Kentucky regulators to approve a 30 percent increase in electricity rates to pay for the work. Conversion to natural gas was completed on May 30, 2016. The station's Unit 2 cooling tower was demolished via implosion on September 24, 2016.

Big Spring Country Club

Big Spring Country Club is a country club located in Louisville Metro. Prior to the 2003 city-county merger, the club's location was in an unincorporated part of Jefferson County, Kentucky, bordered by Louisville (old city) and St. Matthews. The club borders the Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek and the site of Floyd's Station, a fort built by John Floyd in 1779. It was named Big Spring because of a "big spring" which once furnished water for pioneer settlers in the area. This spring, located just below the 13th green of the golf course, is still flowing today. The club was founded in 1926. The golf course at the club hosted the PGA Championship in 1952, which Jim Turnesa won. References External links Official site
