NWPPC agrees to increase energy conservation
Energy conservation will be the
chief source of new power in the
Pacific Northwest in the coming
years, the Northwest Power Plan
ning Council confirmed recently.
Meeting at the Salem, Oregon
public library, a building that re
cently underwent remodeling to
increase its energy efficiency, the
Council agreed to increase the
amount of conservation called for
in the 1991 Northwest Conserva
tion and Electric Power Plan. The
Council prepared the plan during
the last two-and-a-half years and
released it for public comment last
November. At their most recent
meeting, the Council reviewed those
comments-there were more than
1,300 and discussed the power
generated resources in the plan.
Conservation is chief among
those resources. The draft version
of the plan called on the region to
acquire at least 1 ,350 megawatts of
conservation during the next 10
years. At their meeting, the Council
revised that target to 1,500 mega
watts. The Council also increased
the total potential for conservation
over the next 20 years from 3,200
megawatts to 5,400 megawatts if
the region experiences high growth
in energy demand.
The plan also includes a 20-year
forecast of electricity demand, ex
pressed in four scenarios, from a
decline in damand for electricity to
a nigh rate of growth in demand.
Resources needed to meet the de
mand were identified in each sce
nario. The decision resulted from addi
tional research into possible gen
erating resources suggested in
public comments on the plan.
The Council also changed its
assumptions on coal-fired power
plants. In considering power-generation
technologies, plants that
use coal as a fuel could be an
alternative to meet high energy
growth. If such plants are needed,
the Council decided the region
should rely on a new, environ
mentally cleaner technology
known as coal gasification.
Unlike traditional coal-fired
power plants, in which crushed
coal is burned to produce heat to
operate a steam turbine generator,
coal gasification plants turn coal
into a gas. The gas then is used as
the fuel to operate a turbine that
produces electricity. The process
results in much lower emissions of
sulfur, nitrogen and carbon diox
ide than from traditional coal-fired
plants.
The plan identifies new coal
fired plants as potential resources
if the region experiences medium
high to high growth, which trans
lates to an increase in electricity
demand of 1.7 percent a year or
more.
The Council clarified its position
on nuclear power. The plan does
not call for construction of new
nuclear plants. Nor does it call for
completion of the partially built
Washington Public Power Supply
System nuclear plants 1, at Han
ford, and 3 at Satsop in Grays
Harbor County.
The Council reiterated their posi
tion, stating, "The Council is not
calling for a change in the preserva
tion status of the plants," said
Council Chairman James Goller of
Idaho. "If the region experiences
high growth, or if the region loses a
significant portion of its current
power system, these plants could
be an alternative to meet regional
energy needs. It is time to determine
whether preservation of these plants
is a prudent insurance policy."
Goller said there are a number of
issues that would have to be re
solved before the plants could be
either completed or terminated,
including, for example, the fact
that it is unlikely that the current
public utility owners will need
power from the plants during the
next 20 years.
If it is decided the plants can't be
completed and operated cost-effectively,
then they should be termi
nated, Goller said.
The power-plan, which is the
third revision since the original
plan was approved in April 1983,
has tour basic objectives:
Acquire more than 1 ,500 mega
watts of conservation and other
low-cost resources in the next ten
years.
Shorten the lead time to bring
new resources into the power sys
tem. That is, perform the siting,
design and licensing of new power
plants, but put off the decision to
construct until it is known the
power will be needed.
Confirm still more resources
by pinning down their costs and
availability. These would include
additional conservation, biomass
(wood waste-burning plants, for
example), geothermal, wind and
solar power.
Change state utility regulatory
laws so that equitable regulatory
treatment is provided for conserva
tion and generating resources. Poli
cies should link a utility's profits to
energy the utility sells as well as
energy the utility saves. A rate that
would do just that recently was
approved in Washington for Puget
Sound Power and Light Company,
which is the state's largest utility.
Puget Power, based in Bellevue,
has about 720.000.
The Council expects to take final
action on the new plan by the end
of April.
Warm Springs Agency, Oregon.
Report of Horace O. Wilson, Supervisor
March 24, 1913.
Section 3.
industries (Reservation):
The Warm Springs reservation Is very hilly and
mountainous. The valleys are narrow and there Is not very much
good (arming land. The Eastern part of the reservation does not
have any timber except a few juniper trees while the western part
o( the reservation along the slopes of the Cascade Mountains Is
heavily covered with timber. I am Informed that Irrigation
engineers have spent considerable time on this reservation and
have decided that It Is Impracticable to Install an Irrigation system
on account of the heavy expense of putting In such a system and
the small amount of land that could be covered with water.
In my opinion the main Industry In which these Indians
should be encouraged Is stock raising. There can be some
farmina done along the streams and In the narrow valleys. Some
farming Is also being done on tf?e high bench lands. There has
never been any correct count made of the Indians' horses and
cattle but H has been estimated that the Indians have about 3500
head of horses, mostly ponies, and 700 head of cattle. The
Indians should be encouraged to dispose of these ponies and
breed larger horses. Stallions should be purchased for the
purpose of breeding up the Indian pony mares. The pony
stallions should be disposed of. Large stallions should not be
purchased but stallions weighing 1200 to 1400 pounds would be
better.
Cattle should be purchased and Issued to those Indians.
As the Indians have no funds I recommend tfraf a reimbursable
appropriation of $150,000 be requested of the congress, the
Government to be reimbursed from the sale of the timber on the
reservation. It has been estimated that there Is about two billion
feet of timber on the Warm Springs Reservation. If such a
reimbursable appropriation can be obtained I recommend that
3,000 head of heifers and 100 bulls be purchased and Issued to
these Indians, also that stallions be purchased as above
mentioned; the Indians do no have but few farming Implements
of any kind and a part of the appropriation could be used In the
purchase of farming Implements.
There are three farmers on this reservation. The
reservation Is divided Into three districts. One farmer is located
at Simnasho, which Is 20 miles north of the agency In Wasco
County. The other two farmers are located at the agency. One
of them has charge of the district adjacent to the agency. One of
them has charge of the district adjacent to the agency. The other
farmer has charge of the southern part of the reservation In what
Is known as the Sicsicqua district. This farmer is located entirely
too far away from his work. I made a trip into this district with
him one day and noted that we drove for nearly two hours before
we arrived at the first house In this district. It can thus be seen
that he spends fully half of his time in going to and from his work.
There Is no Government building in this district In which he can
live. A building should be erected as soon as possible on
Sicsicqua Creek for the use of tfje farmer in that district. The
Indians are doing some farming and are being encouraged by the
farmers. I took particular notice of one Indian plowing; he was
plowing up new land and I believe that he was doing about the
best plowing that I have ever seen any Indian do. This was in the
Sicsicqua district and the Indian's name was Carl Webster Gibbs.
The great trouble with these Indians is that they do not have the
necessary farming implements. This Is a dry farming district and
whenever ground is broken it should be immediately harrowed
down In order to retain the moisture in the soil. Usually the Indian
does not have a harrow and the result in that the ground drys out
too much. Some arrangement should be made as suggested to
purchase those Indians the necessary farming implements.
The general character of the Indians' homes on this
reservation is not very good; the main reason for this is that the
saw mill is located entirely too far away from the homes of the
Indians. The saw mill is 20 miles northwest of the agency. The
roads near the saw mill are very bad during the Winter and Spring
seasons and lumber cannot be hauled. There should be two
portable saw mills purchased, one for the southern port and the
other for the northern part of the reservation. The present saw mill
should be located about one mile west of the agency
on Shitike CreeK. Mr. saizman, a lumberman now detailed there,
informs me that this would be a good location for a saw mill as
the logs could be driven down the Shitike Creek. If this
arrangement could be made the Indians could be better supplied
with lumber and could build better homes, barns, etc.
Section 4.
Individual Indian Moneys:
The Superintendent has about $7,000 individual Indian
moneys. This money is used partly for subsistence of Indians and
also for improvements on their allotments. I believe that he is
having the Indians use this money for their best interests.
Tribal Moneys:
The Warm Springs Indians have no tribal moneys held in
trust by the Government.
Trade:
There is only one licensed traders store on the Warm
Springs Reservation. This store does not give any credit to the
Indians. There is, however, a store at Mecca, which is across the
Deschutes River from the reservation, which is operated by the
same company that has the store on the reservation. This store
at Mecca gives credit to the Indians. So far as I could see the
store on the reservation was being properly conducted.
Lands:
No patents in fee have been issued on this reservation.
One application has been received but no action has been taken
by the Superintendent. He has the matter still under
consideration.
There have been no land sales on this reservation.
No allotments are leased.
There are 7 tribal permits, 5 tor sheep and 2 for cattle.
The sheep permits are from 17VsC to 20ViC per head and the
cattle are for $2 per head. The money from these grazing permits
is used for various purposes at the agency in tfw payment of
employees salaries, purchasing road machinery, farming
implements for the Indians, etc. On account of the deep snows
in the mountains I could not visit the sections covered by these
tribal permits and cannot say whether such permits will interfere
with Indians' stock or not but from inquiries I made I do not
believe that the issuing of these permits will interfere with any
Ind'un's stnek
