Compromise Brings Bruces Eddy Dam Closer To Authorization
BY A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Washington Because of a
compromise arrangement work
ed out by Sen. Warren G. Mag-
n u s o n ID
Wash.), anoth
er major mul
tiple - purpose
river project,
Bruces E d dy
dam, seems
fairly certain j
to be a u thor
ized by Con
gress this ses-
A Robt. Smith siun.
The Senate has already passed
the omnibus river and harbor
authorization bill which contains
the project, located on a tribu
tary of the Columbia, the Clear
water river in northern Idaho.
Despite opposition to Bruces
Eddy dam from the Eisenhower
administration and from Ore
gon's Sens. Richard L. Neuberg
er and Wayne Morse, the Sen
ate approved it with little dif
ficulty, mainly due to a clause
worked out by Magnuson and
his Washington state colleague,
Sen. Henry M. Jackson.
Neuberger and Morse opposed
the project on grounds that it
would be harmful to conserva
tion interests, mainly steelhead
trout and deer and elk that feed
in the area that would be flood
ed out by the Bruces Eddy res
ervoir. Sen. Henry C. Dworshak (R
Ida.) championed the project.
Freshman Sen. Frank Church
(D-Idaho) at first expressed
doubts about the dam for the
same reasons expressed by con
servationists. The Magnuson c o m p romise
swung Church around to sup
porting the project and seemed
to convince everyone in the Sen
ate except the two Oregon sen
ators. The compromise amount
ed to a proviso in the bill which
states that no funds shall be
appropriated for construction of
this federal project until a fish
and wildlife report has been
completed to efetermine what
conflict of interest way be in
volved. Interim repore e fish and
wildlife in the aaa are due this
month, but fial reerts won't
be complete fen tve years. Idaho
Fish and Game Eteertment has
reported the mumtasr of trout
from 1950 through 1955 aver
aged from 4000 t 14,000 an
nually, while chinok salmon
ranged from nine to 67 fish. It
reported this past winter a
count of some 25 elk feeding
beiow what would be the high
water level of the reservoir,
plus 12 mule deer and 55 white
tail deer.
Against Partnership Project
Magnuson said he and Jack
son were sympathetic to the con
c e r n of the conservationists,
hence their proviso. But they
said they were more anxious to
get the dam authorized now as

a "partnership" power project
out of it. They said once it is
authorized as a federal dam, it
could not be built under any
"partnership" pact with private
power companies without Con
grc 0 approving the deal.
Robert, Merriam, assistant dir
ector of the Budget Bureau, has
testified that the administra
tion was opposed to authorizing
this project until it had fully
explored "the possibility of a
partnership arrangement."
Federal a u t h orization now,
Magnuson pointed out, will also
prevent any private group from
obtaining a license for a dam
on that site from the Federal
P.wer Commission. The FPC
has granted a preliminary per
mit to a combine of four utili
ties, Pacific Power and Light,
Washington Water Power, Port
land General Electric and Mont
ana Power companies, to allow,
them to explore the dam site.
Part of Cost Included
The Corps of Engineers has
estimated the dam would cost
$122,650,000, but the bill only
carries an authorization of $25,
000,000. It was explained that
the strategy here was to include
only part of the cost in order to
help keep the tota.. authorization
in the omnibus bill as low as
possible during the present
"economy" wave that is sweep
ing over the lawmakers.
As a federal project, the dam
would have an installed capacity
of 240,000 KW and create a
reservoir with 1,433,000 acre
feet of usuable flood control
storage. It has been recommend
ed by the Corps of Engineers to
help provide additional storage
in the presently uncontrolled
Clearwater river before it
dumps into the Snake and then
the Columbia.
