Notes
  • Significance: The exciter no. 1 and 2 are original components of the Rush Creek Hydroelectric System power generation equipment. The Rush Creek System is significant under National Register Criteria A and C for its position in the development of hydroelectric generation on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, and its distinctive engineering characteristics. It is an intact example of a high-head, impulse water wheel, high-voltage hydroelectric generation plant. It embodies distinctive innovations in dam construction and powerhouse planning which maximized the plant's production of hydroelectricity.
