About 10 miles downstream from Calderwood is Chilhowee Dam.

Jan summed it up best...compared to the other three dams in the project, Chilhowee just isn't very sexy. The dam is a combination of earth/rock embankments, and a concrete gated spillway between two concrete non-overflow sections. The total length is 1,483 feet, maximum height is about 88.5 feet. Normal full pool elevation of Chilhowee Lake is 874.0 feet. The powerhouse is integrated into the dam. This is the least productive of the dams: even though it is capable of 50 megawatts compared to Santeetlah's 45, it takes 11,460 cfs of flow through the three turbines to do it. And apparently Alcoa thought about it a while before they built this one. Cheoah, the first dam of the project, was started in 1916, and Calderwood, the last until Chilhowee, was completed in 1930. Then, Chilhowee was started in 1955. At that time the FERC licensed all four dams as the Tapoco Project, FERC Project Number 2169. Chilhowee began producing power in 1957.
