Electricity begins flow
from Boardman
Flectricity from Portland
Genrrat Electric Co.'s new
Boardman Coal Plant began
flowing to the utility' cus
tomers for the first time at
9:40 a.m.. July 12.
Completed on schedule and
within budget, the $525 million
plant took some four and
one-half years to build and.
according to PGE. can pro
duce 530.000 kilowatts of
electrical power. This is
enough electricity for 240.000
homes.
Operators of the plant fired
its giant boiler on oil for
testing purposes during the
next week. It produced about 5
percent of its full power output
during the tests.
Following the initial test on
oil. coal will be fed into the
boiler for the first time and
testing will continue until
Boardman reaches its full
power output. Boardman will
burn 315 tons of coal per hour
when operating at full power.
The Boardman plant is
located about 160 miles east of
Portland and 11 miles south of
the Columbia River near the
city of Boardman.
PGR president Robert H.
Short praised all those assoc
iated with the design and
construction of Boardman.
"To bring a project of this
magnitude to completion right
on target is truly commend
able." Short said.
"The addition of Boardman
to PGE's system will ease the
power crunch experienced
during the last few years and
allow us to meet our custom
ers growing needs into the
mid-19B0's." Short said.
"This however, does not
lessen the importance of
increasing energy conserva
tion, co-generation- and the
development of renewable
resources." he said. "It will
take strong emphasis on these
programs, as well as new
generating plants, to meet the
Pacific Northwest's needs in
the years ahead."
Boardman project general
manager. Tom Kingston, also
praised all of the contractors
and workers involved with the
project. At peak, there were
some 1.400 construction work
ers on the job at Boardman. It
took 7.1 million man-hours to
build the project.
In addition, Kingston thank
ed the local communities for
"their tremendous support for
Boardman and cooperative
spirit in minimizing any
socio-economic impacts from
the project."
Kingston was in charge of
the plant's construction until
being named to head its
operation in January 1980.
A site certificate to build the
Boardman project was grant
ed by the Nuclear-Thermal
Energy Council and signed by
former Governor Robert
Straub in 1975. Construction
began in February 1976.
First structures completed
were the dams and dike
forming the 1.400 surface-acre
Carty Reservoir. It provides
cooling water for the plant as
well as 10.000 acre-feet of
water storage for irrigation.
Boeing Agri-Industrial Co.
supplies the water for Carty
Reservoir through an 18-mile
long. 60-inch diameter pipe
line from the Willow Creek
arm of the Columbia River. In
exchange, it uses the reser
voir's water storage capacity.
Also dominating the plan
site is the project's 656-foot
tall chimney. It is made of
reinforced concrete with a
free-standing steel liner and
took 15 months to build.
Next to the chimney sits a
$27 million electrostatic pre
cipitator designed to remove
more than 99.5 percent of the
fly ash that results from
burning the coal.
PGE says it is using
extremely low sulfur coal at
Boardman for additional en
vironmental protection. The
coal contains less than 0.5
percent sulfur.
Coal for the Boardman
project comes from Amax
Coal Co.'s Belle Ayr and Eagle
Butte mines near Gillette,
Wyoming. PGE ha a 20 year
contract with Amax for 1.2
million tons of coal per year.
Unit trains make the 1.200
mile trek from the mine to the
plant 10 times each month.
Each 100 car train is more
than a mile in length and holds
some 10.000 tons of coal. -
Shipments of coal began
arriving in Boardman in
January 1980. There are more
than 690.000 tons of coal now
stockpiled at the plant, says
PGE.
Electricity from the Board
man plant will cost about five
cents a kilowatt hour to
produce. This compares with
about two cents a kwh for
electricity from Trojan Nu
clear Plant and seven to ten
cents a kWh for power from
oil-fired plants.
PGE said it had originally
planned to build nuclear
plants rather than the Board
man project. Delays in ap
proval, however, led to the
decision to build the coal-fired
project.
Participating with PGE in
the Boardman project are
Pacific Northwest Generating
Co. and Idaho Power Co. Each
has a 10 percent share.
How loud is
your bird?
That noisy rooster that gets
you out of bed each morning
before the crack of dawn may
earn you a cash prize at the
1980 Oregon State Fair. Aug
ust 23 to September I if he's
really as noisy as you think he ,
is.
"Entrants are being sought
for the annual Oregon State
Fair Rooster Crowing Con
test," according to Mickey
Hickman, Silverton, Superin
tendent of the Poultry Division
at the Fair. For an entry fee
of 75 cents your noisy bird can
enter and, and if he can crow
the most times in 20 minutes,
you can take home all the
entry fees.
"There is one other hitch,"
Hickman said. To be eligible
to enter, your rooster must
also be entered in one of the
Poultry Divisions at the Fair.
Breed is immaterial, as long
as he can crow. The Rooster
Crowing Contest will beat 2:30
p.m. August 26.
"In addition to the cash
prize for the first place, there
will be other prizes, including
trophies, sacks of chicken feed
and other appropriate items,"
Hickman said.
One special prize will be an
old-fashioned ranch-style din
ner triangle for the first entry
received after August 1.
Another prize will be given for
the goofiest name ("Chain
Saw" and Motor Mouth" are
examples of past winners.)
Now's the time to plan for
vour entry," Hickman said.
The fair would like to find a
rooster to challenge the world
record of 112 crows in 30
minutes, set in 1978 at Rogue
River.
"Noise doesn't always count
the most with the crowd,"
Hickman grinned. Last year,
one of the most popular
roosters with the crowd was
one that dropped grumpily
throughout the entire show
and refused to crow even once.
Perhaps that's the one to get
for your flock.
