| Buchanan Fish Ladder |
This is the 2nd dam that fish need to negotiate. The fish ladder design at this ladder is called vertical slot. Fish enter the ladder from the entrance below the dam, move upstream though the system of vertical slots, and exit the ladder in the power canal. This is also a hydroelectric facility owned by American Electric Power. Total cost of this ladder was $3 million dollars. It was completed in 1990. This ladder is not accessible to the public for viewing.
