Army Engineer Discusses Future Power Projects Portland -4UPD- Construction projects costing an estimated $1,800,000,000 to meet the maximum power demand of the Pacific Northwest will be needed in the next 15 years according to Col. Allen F Clark Jr., Division Engineer, of the Army Corps of En gineers. Col. Clark said that this is the cost estimate of new pro jects recommended in the revised Columbia River 308 report. He said that by 1985, 33 million kilowatts of power will be needed and in 50 years, in 2010, the load would be about 55 million which is ten times the present power output of 5,600,000 kilowatts. Barge Channels On the navigation aspect of the report, Col. Clark said "... after careful study of the potential traffic of the area, we. have recommended that the navigation barge channels be extended from the head of McNary pool near Pasco, Wash., to the vicinity of Rock Island dam involv ing construction of locks at Wamapum' and Priest Rapids, "For the Columbia river ex tension to Rock Island it is estimated that traffic on the order of 1,800,000 tons will move on that river at the mid point between 1965 and 2015, representing an annual sav ings of about $3,300,000," Col. Clark said. Corps' Judgment Col. Clark said that the plan presented by the Corps of Engineers is by no meansi the only possible plan, but based on the Corps' judgment it is the best plan. "There must be an early resolution of difefrences and agreement so that federal, pri vate or public construction agencies can get on with the job. It is essential to the fu ture of the Northwest," Col Clark declared. Latin America's largest steel mill is Volta Redona, 60 miles from Rio de Janeiro. Its cap acity is 600,000 tons a year.
