Ear Falls was selected because there is more water passing through that location than the existing hydroelectric facility could harness harness, comprehensive term for the gear of a draft animal, excluding the yoke, by which it is attached to the load that it pulls. Although harnesses are used on dogs (for drawing travois and dogsleds), on goats, and sometimes on oxen, the typical harness is for . "There is water being wasted that could be captured and used as a generation source." The new plant will be constructed adjacent to the current hydroelectric facility on the English River This article is about rivers named "English River".
