Hello everyone, I moved with my family to Ontario Canada and we are starting a family business… our property has a large spring fed pond with a dam. I did some research of what can be done because the dam is currently just leaking/overflowing… I found a hydroelectric company called green bug and they offer some options including leasing our site to them… there are also hydro and environmental agencies that we could contact. I‘m looking for some advice from fellow permies that might have experience with hydro power and/or regulations, permits, infrastructure, etc.
Side note: The dam has some erosion damage, so it will eventually need maintenance.
