I know of none bigger (main system) as this one has about 4 miles of 2" tubing as I recall. It was installed on the ice and cut in while the ice was over 18" thick.
The "field" was replumbed in 2009-2010 to the tune of around $50,000. This was using same blowers and motors etc.
As to fish kills after aerator installed this is a sticky subject. FERC controls the license as to how the waters are operated. There is a major study underway to model the reservoir and predict D.O. trends. We are hopeful that this will link the D.O. to water levels (volume) and that we will see a change in operations that carries more volume into winter gradually releasing as the winter goes on.
