Electric Companies' Comprehensive Plans
for 5 Big Dams in Snake River Canyon
Will Mean 2,415,000 New Kilowatts
for Power-Huiigry Pacific Northwest

This is the way 147 miles of Snake River will be put to work:
BROWNLEE

OXBOW

Between Weiser, Idaho and the Mountain Sheep dam site the Snake River
drops 1134 feet in its plunge through a spectacular canyon. The five
dams diagrammed here will put to work ever foot of this fall. They will
harness now-wasted energy to produce 10 bil
lion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually to
1 1 7 ft. serve Pacific Northwest progress.
208 ft.
After thorough investigation, the Federal Power Commission ha
licensed Idaho Power Company to construct the first three dams in the
huge river development. Construction crews have been working eight
mouths on the big Brownlee project. It will produce over half a million
kilowatts and provide one million acre feet of useful storage for power
and flood control. Next will come the Oxbow and Hells Canyon develop
ments, to add over 600,000 kilowatts. Peak capability of the three dams
will be 1,300,000 kilowatts. Idaho Power will spend $133,000,000 on
the dams and $21,000,000 on new transmission lines.

Now waiting approval by the Federal Power Commission is the start
of construction on the Mountain Sheep and Pleasant Valley projects,
next in the power development stairway. Full capability of these two
dams will be 1,446,000 kilowatts. They will be built by Pacific North.-
west Power Company, organized by four neighbor utilities to develop
large new power sources for the area. Sponsor companies are Pacific
1 Power & Light, Portland General Electric, Washington Water Power
and Montana Power. Cost of the two dams and transmission lines will
be $217,000,000, all to be supplied by taxpaying private capital.

On th job ol Brownlee dam sit are 800 construction workers. River soon will be
diverted through a tunnel and the dam will rite 395 feet above foundation level.
Project will be completed late in 1958.

Highest arch-type dom in U. S. will be 534-foot Pleasant Valley structure, which
will provide half a million acre feet of useful storage for power end flood control.
Heavy-duty transmission lines from Snake River project! will carry power to load
centers throughout repjon. , ,
This tremendous Snake River development program
is of vital importance totthe entire Pacific Northwest.
Nowhere else in the region can such huge new blocks of
, low-cost power be brought into production in time to meet
the growth requirements of the critical period beginning
in 1960. These are dams that can be pouring new
kilowatts into the Northwest Power Pool
right at the time when needed.
Your electric companies are pressing this program
in a vigorous effort to fulfill completely their public
service responsibilities.
Every study of the Pacific Northwest's future power
demands shows plainly that more and more power is
needed almost twice as much in 1965 as we
now have available.
Only by going ahead NOW with large-scale developments
such as these on the Snake River can we have
POWER FOR PROGRESS. ' '
This is a time for ACTION not words! Construction
workers on the power-development job today have the
satisfaction of knowjng that the results of their labor will
be new kilowatts to support many new jobs in a
future of opportunity for all.
