While undergoing relicensing, the license owner for this project surrendered its license citing economic reasons. FERC approved the surrender in 2012.

The project consists of a masonry gravity dam (14 ft high and 150 ft wide) and an 11-acre impoundment.

The power generated from this project is used at the Willow Mill.
