At the northern end of the weir a pool-and-transverse type fish pass is currently in a state of disrepair and is supplied with an excessive flow rate to facilitate fish movement. A proposal is currently being considered to install a hydropower scheme on part of the existing weir structure comprising a pair of Archimedean screw turbines. The scheme would also encompass an additional Larinier type fish pass, alongside the repair of the existing pool-and-traverse fish pass. Underwater cameras and a fish counter would estimate Salmon and Trout migration to spawning grounds in the Upper Dart. The weir itself currently has an uneven crest which would be repaired by installing a plate to the crest to improve the direct flow of water over the weir. The electrical generation will be used by the King Edward VI Community College, which is one of the largest schools in Devon. A small classroom complex is proposed for the site next to the weir to be used by a KEVICC educational trust. The project cost is estimated to be in the region of £1 million.
